I'd have barkov in my top 10 centers. Probably right at or near the 10th spot but it counts. Giroux McKinnon and Eichel are all really close and all offensively more gifted. Barkov is really solid in his own end though and he gets the nod based on that.
As for center depth, Florida does pretty well. If they get an injury at center they have guys that can slot over and fill in.
The Wild do pretty well when it comes to center depth. Ducks and Kings have strong depth as well.
As for Pittsburg, they have two top 5 centers in the league. That's great, but I wouldn't say they have good center depth. Center depth to me is having any center in your lineup go down to injury and still being able to adequately ice 4 centers.
Pittsburg is in need of a 3rd line center. If Malkin or Crosby were to go down right now they'd be in a fair bit of trouble.
Malkin is due for his yearly 20 game injury.
