If you switch Danault and Bergeron around...
this happens....
Gallagher and Tatar score MORE goals
Marchand and Pasta score LESS goals
this tells us all we need to know about that comparison.

Armia SHOULD indeed be considered a second line winger if he could keep up the pace for a whole season. But he is far ahead of last year's pace in his case, so reserving judgment is appropriate.
Danault is doing a bit better than last year, but not enormously so. There is enough body of work to say he is a top-6 center, IMO.
Lehkonen is technically borderline 2W at 55th, and he was worse the past two years, so I'm not at all ready to call him a top-6 player. He is 11 points behind Danault!

If stats weigh in so heavily on your opinion of players, Domi must be a 1C?
Galchenyuk was also a first line center, right?
Agreed. Bergeron is better than Danault in 2019. But that does not mean prove Danault is not a top-6 worthy center. This is because Patrice Bergeron is probably in the top 10.
Domi was 28th last year in points, and he was Montreal's best offensive center. This year, he is definitely playing like a 2nd line center. But I do think he has the potential to be a #1C.
Galchenyuk had one season at 56 points but only 41st in ppg and about 30th overall. Based on that being his best season, no he was not a #1 center, plus he was a-8 that season, and -54 for his career so far. No way I would trust him with the minutes and assignments Danault gets.
Of course Beregron's point totals are positively affected by his wingers. But he is still a top-10, maybe top-5C in the league.
