Teams with great center depth

[SI90]

Islanders are sneaky good.

Tavares - #1
Barzal- #1
Nelson-#3
Cizikas- Very good #4

Nelson is a center but not really.

 

[Rogal Dorn]

Between Brossard, Plakenic and Nahville this thread is a gold mine.

 

[Mr Positive]

McDavid
Draisaitl
Nugent-Hopkins
___?___ Khaira, Strome, Cammy (we traded our regular 4Cs)

Our issue this season is that center depth was the only thing we could count on. Wingers, D and even goaltending basically let the team down.

 

[izzy]

Montreal is up there

Drouin
Danault
De la rose
Shaw

we r on their tails

schenn
barbashev
brodziak
sundstrom or whoever wants to play c

 

[PensandCaps]

Nelson is a center but not really.

Yah. Never really thought he looked well there. Too soft...floater. If the Isles could upgrade on him, they'll be up there.

 

[Not So Mighty]

Jeez, there's a scary amount of teams with great center depth.

 

[PenguinSpeed]

Playoff Points Per Game

Crosby- 1.108
Malkin- 1.0154
Brassard- .771

 

[Trap Jesus]

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

Bergeron
Krejci
Nash
Kuraly

Those are their 4 centers this year. Backes, Schaller, Acciari and Wingels can all play center if need be. Maybe Donato, although who knows if he can at the NHL level.

I think the plan is to move him in the off-season. Beauvillier can play up and down the line up and hopefully he can take hold of the 3C spot.

Cizikas could theoretically play 3C if the isles find legit 4th Line Center.

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

Sheifele > Matthews
Stastny > Kadri
Little > Bozak
Lowry > Plek

No... Leafs aren't top 3.. Pitts, Edmonton forsure, Winnipeg, Nashville ahead as well

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

Oilers by far:

McDavid
Draisaitl
Nugent-Hopkins
Strome
Khaira

Sheifele > Matthews
Stastny > Kadri

No

oh well you didn't read my post and you used greater than signs, guess you win

 

[Stad]

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

edit- Nvm

 

[Rorschach]

Kings
Kopitar
Carter
Kempe
Lewis

That may be the one of the very few corps that can match the Pens and not be massacred on C match ups alone.

 

[Sean Garrity]

Getzlaf
Henrique
Kesler
Grant/Vermette

 

[Machinehead]

The Rangers don't have great NHL center depth yet, but our NHL depth and prospects put together is up there.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

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


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

First thing I noticed. Why the heck would you list only 5 points? Is the OP not aware that Brassard actually played more than the 10 or so games he's been a Penguin?

 

[Sky04]

Lines last game:

Stamkos 1.16ppg
Point .79ppg
Gourde .77ppg
Cirelli .67ppg

 

[Joey Moss]

The only team that matches the Oilers is Pittsburgh.

Unfortunately we also have the worst collection of wingers ever assembled in the NHL.

 

[Jeffrey Pedler]

My bad 44pts for Brassard

 

[snowkiddin]

IMO there's a few teams up there, no real definitive number one

 

[snowkiddin]

What I'm getting from this thread is that a surprising amount of teams have great centre depth

 

[BrokerD]

oh well you didn't read my post and you used greater than signs, guess you win

Him > You

 

[Three On Zero]

Oilers by far:

McDavid
Draisaitl
Nugent-Hopkins
Strome
Khaira

Oilers belong nowhere in this conversation, Drai gets most of his points from playing with McDavid, not from centering the 2nd line

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Him > You

at making bad posts? definitely
