HFBoards Top 31 NHL Centers - #5

[Backcheckmonster3]

A lot of better choices than Barkov.

Great player but one of the most overrated players on this site.

IDK he´s #3 on my list and if we consider age he is #2.

“A lot” huh? LOL

 

[pb1300]

There needs to be better eyeroll emojis

I guess "a lot" isn't the right word but there's 2 or 3 that are clearly better right now.

He doesn't do a single thing better than Bergeron.

My point exactly.

I made the comment before in the previous poll that it could have gone either way with Bergeron, and that I made the homer vote for Barkov. Im fine with Bergy being ahead of him, but dont see anyone else on that list above him above him.

 

[Backcheckmonster3]

My point exactly.

Your point being he´s 3rd on your list too? Or are you just arrogant and mean that your point being that something has been proved by my comment?

If option 2, then you must find it laughable that the guy who had 96 instead of 99 points while being one of the best defensive centers in the game and having Dadonov and Huberdeau on his wings versus Landeskog and Rantanen for the #3 guy would even be a discussion?


Yeah that really is a totally outrageous opinion...

It is an outrageous opinion that Barkov is better than MacKinnon and no, it's not even a discussion.

Yet you failed to respond to the reasons i posted, since you didn´t seem to understand the content of the arguments . Your occupation is a joke btw right?

 

[Yackiberg8]

Bergeron: forever underrated

*overrated

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

should be Matthews but its gonna be 1 of Bergy/Malkin then the other than Matthews, if 2 players are at all close it gonna go the non Leafs way lol

It isn't close yet, however.

 

[Binister]

Gimme Bergeron

 

[Stewie Griffin]

Easily Bergeron and then Malkin. I think 7 is where it really opens up.

There will be an Auston matthews debate coming soon...

You could also say that because of Toronto's large amount of fans they can vote in favour of Matthews which would give him an advantage in the poll.

 

[Taluss]

Coin toss between Malkin or Berg for me

 

[Taluss]

What has Matthew's done to deserve to be ahead of those 2? Because your correct I have Matthew's after both of them

How do you get Berg over Malkin easily? Honest question. I'm torn between the 2 but learned Malkin

You subscribe to the notion that Barkov is a Selke-level defender. He simply isn't and I'm not going to change your mind.

Also, Rantanen tanks like Pittsburgh in 2004 away from MacKinnon.

He trailed only McDavid and Crosby for points per game by a center last year, and is one of if not the best defensive forward of all time. Not sure what else he's supposed to do.

 

[TheGuiminator]

Imagine Bergeron being better than Malkin... Yikes !

 

[Stewie Griffin]

Just my own opinion I guess. Bergeron's offensive production is near the top of the league while being elite defensively as well.

Oh god well there’s no need to argue then if you believe that LOL

What is he better at?

His offence is overrated, it’s not a coincidence his offence suddenly exploded in his 14th year.

Nothing you’re right. Your outlandish claim has convinced me.
