NHL 17 Player Ratings - Top 10 Centers

[Al_Tito13]

Knowing that guys like Seguin, Tavares, Stamkos, Giroux, Carter, Duchene will probably play the wing, I see Toews as the second line center behind Crosby. Bergeron or Getzlaf on the third. However, like I said, it will depend of the combinations, because there is enough talent on this team to make 4 great lines. That being said, I'm sure Toews will play more than 8-10 minutes a game.

I dont mind this list....pretty good. The only one I may a have a small beef with is Giroux....probably have him at a 90 along with Bergeron.

As for McDavid I would have him around 86-87. He is only 19 and has played half a season guys.....he shouldn't be top 10 yet.

Crosby won the Art Ross in his 2nd year. I wouldn't be surprised if McDavid did the same this season.

IMO, McDavid is a top 10 centre right now. Probably top 3.
Prorated over 82 games, he would have had 87 points, good enough for 3rd in the league.
If I'm drafting a centre for one season only, I may even be inclined to take McDavid 1st.
I'd bet on him outscoring every centreman this season.

Offensively speaking, all those players are more talented than Toews.
Toews will be no better than a bottom-6 forward during even-strength play.

According to early reports, Babs likes Seguin and Getzlaf as the 2nd or 3rd line centre.
He mentioned that they may move Seguin to the wing to play with Getzlaf, but if they do, then Carter will move to centre the 3rd line with Duschesne and Giroux.

Stamkos was slotted in as Crosby's winger. I wouldn't be surprised if the newly added Couture is his LW.

Looking at Team Canada's roster, that's exactly the kind of minutes he should get.

smh well someone obiously doesn't get the finer points of hockey which could be expected from someone who speaks about the game with borrowed knowledge but no complete thought of his own. Toews is a top 10 player in hockey and can turn his offensive game up when needed. His defense becomes his offense. sorry I just had to say something. Glad you aren't the coach lol
