What.
At being a legit center...
MacKinnon, Monahan, Scheifele, McDavid, Barkov, Point, Aho
Monahan broke out the same year that Gaudreau did. He's a sniper, not a line driver.
Point is shooting at 22.9%, which is 8.5% higher than his previous two seasons. His most common linemates are Kucherov, Johnson, Gourde and Stamkos. When Draisaitl isn't with McDavid, his most common linemates have been Chiasson and Rieder.
This is without even touching on Calgary having Giordano and company on the back end and Tampa having Hedman and company. A similar argument can be made for Scheifele and Aho, but I'll grant you them.
Draisaitl in the 16-17 playoffs played centre on his line, and he was fantastic.
