HFBoards Top 31 NHL Centers

[LuckyBoeser]

Are you serious?

Yes I am.

 

[BlueMed]

Sorry, but Brayden Point does not get precedence over ROR just because he put up more points (no pun intended). He's super overrated.

Also ROR went head to head against Bergeron in the finals and outplayed him. Just throwing that out there.

 

[KoozNetsOff 92]

Let me guess. Any list that doesn't have the Caps' players higher is a joke?

Not just them. Lot of things wrong with that list.

 

[Machinehead]

There's the obligatory bad takes, but the lists coming from media outlets are generally worse. It's a fine job.

 

[Machinehead]

Weird not seeing rnh on this list. According to some he should be in the top 25.

He's a good center and definitely should have been an honorable mention but I don't really see anyone in the top 31 I'm taking out for him. Maybe Horvat.

ROR did outplay an injured Bergeron in the Final. But Bergeron is admittedly at the age where "injured" is going to be mentioned more and more. Heck, he is STILL recovering from the groin injury that killed his skating in the Final.




edit: but, I wouldn't put him ahead of Point

 

[Kale Hulls]

Couturier too high by about 5-6 spots.

Couturier is too low by 5-6 spots.

 

[TonyDeAngelo]

Coots should be much lower than 14!

 

[Kotkaniemi15]

Ridiculous not having Domi on. He was 7th in ES points among centres. How does he not crack the top 31?

What would the argument be to have Nugent-Hopkins over Horvat? I know you said maybe but I don't see any argument.

Eh, you're probably right.

Ever notice that the fan bases that complain about others being homers are the biggest homers?

 

[Foots]

Calm down. Nobody said anything about the Caps except you.

 

[Todd from Leduc]

Oh please dudes, Draisaitl not in the top 10?

 

[flyersfan018]

Not just them. Lot of things wrong with that list.

 

[LT]

Oh please dudes, Draisaitl not in the top 10?

Check the wingers poll.

 

[sandysan]

How does Domi not even make hms?!

Because he will probably end up on the wing or because it was one year?

A great surprise last year, for sure.

 

[J T Money]

Matthews 7th and Stamkos before Point are ones that stand out as really bad.

At least I can understand the logic behind Barkov before Bergeron.

 

[Zeke and luther]

Coots should be much lower than 14!

You tell 'em Bryce

 

[57special]

Decent list. My 1st thought was that Staal was a stretch even as a HM, but on second thought I'm fine with it. He didn't have a lot to work with last year. If you included the previous two years he should be in the top 31, for sure.

 

[RogerRoger]

Nitpick imo: Bergeron above Barkov. Point above Eichel. Toews above Seguin. Monahan above Larkin.

Pretty good list overall, the player "tier" is accurate which is the best we can hope for in a subjective list like that.

 

[Merrrlin]

I would have thought Point was higher than Stamkos at this point. Stamkos does have the better body of work I suppose.

 

[Trap Jesus]

At least I can understand the logic behind Barkov before Bergeron.

What is the logic for that? At least with different types of players (ie. snipers vs. two-way players) you can argue personal preference, but Bergeron and Barkov have a similar type of game.

 

[Necrobutcher]

Sorry, but Brayden Point does not get precedence over ROR just because he put up more points (no pun intended). He's super overrated.

How come?
