The NHL’s talent level is only increasing as the years go on, and so are the arguments about who the top players in the NHL are. Now, it’s our turn. The drive4five crew has each compiled their list of the Top 10 Centers in the NHL. There is absolutely no bias represented in these picks, so no, you will not see Mathew Barzal on anyone’s list (except David’s); however, he is, along with other star rookies in the NHL such as Clayton Keller and Brock Boeser, becoming household names in the score sheets.
