TOR
Matthews 50pts 55.68%

Obviously Crosby and Malkin are the best 1-2 center punch in the NHL, but does Toronto have the best 1-4. Does any know of any other teams that have better center depth?

The team you listed above them does.

 

[Jetshockey]

Nashville and Winnipeg

 

[Daximus]

Jets when healthy...

Scheifele - 53 points - 51.8%
Stastny - 50 points - 55%
Little - 40 points - 56.3%
Lowry - 15 points - 54.9%

Both Scheif and Lowry have missed substantial time this season though. And Stastny only joined us at the deadline. We might be one of the best if not the best top to bottom faceoff teams in the league when healthy.

 

[PensandCaps]

Pens Centres 1-4 are better than every Leafs one head to head.


Also kinda disingenuous to list Brassard at 5 points...

 

[SourTemplePilot]

Montreal is up there

Drouin
Danault
De la rose
Shaw

I know you're being facetious but..

 

[Legionnaire11]

Preds have to be in the discussion here...

Johansen
Turris
Bonino
Fisher

With Jarnkrok and Sissons available to rotate in when needed as well.

 

[PenguinSpeed]

Pens Centres 1-4 are better than every Leafs one head to head.


Also kinda disingenuous to list Brassard at 5 points...

-Brassard has about 5 points in his last 5 games. That and he spelled his name wrong

Especially when you list Plekanec at 24 points, not a single one of which was with the Leafs.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Leafs centers are better at faceoffs, but Pens centers are better at hockey overall imo. Leafs might be 2nd in the league if Nylander sticks there

 

[Andrei79]

Especially when you list Plekanec at 24 points, not a single one of which was with the Leafs.

It's debatable wether they were with the Habs, too.

 

[PensandCaps]

Pens have 2 #1 Elite Cs, 1 #2C and 1 #3C

Jets are my second choice...

Scheifele- #1
Statsny- #2
Little- #2
Lowry- #3



Maybe the Lightning as #2 best Centre depth.

Stamkos- #1
Point- #2
Johnson- #2
Peca/Paquette- #4

Yeah there is zero doubt the Pens have the best right now. Close between us and Tampa I think.

You can add Copp and Roslovic can rotate in with us as well but Rosie has a lot less experience there. Copp is a great center in the dot to go along with the rest of our faceoff beasts.

 

[PensandCaps]

If the Flyers played their Best centres at centre.

Giroux
Coots
Patrick
Filp

Once Patrick has some more seasoning under his belt they will be really good.

 

[Gurilla]

Pens, Jets, Oilers

Looks like Cirelli took over the 4C spot. Kid is a gamer. Either that or he will be in the 3C spot with Gourde and Killorn on his wings.

Fake news. Brassard has 44 points

 

[Fire Benning]

Nahville, Winnipeg, and Pittsburgh.

 

[Harvey Birdman]

In a vacuum all healthy playing to their best in no order. And I only list Pens first as a Pens fan. Pens, Preds, Jets, and Bolts.

 

[JP Nolan]

Bergeron
Krejci
Backes
Nash
Kuraly...........................................Deepest/best in the league.

 

[McDNicks17]

Pretty happy with the Oilers.

Connor McDavid, 21, 90 points
Leon Draisaitl, 22, 66 points
Ryan Strome, 24, 33 points
Jujhar Khaira, 23, 20 points

(RNH is playing wing right now.)
