The World's Best #1 Center

NHL.com continues to rank its best players for the upcoming World Cup of Hockey.

 

Earlier today, seven writers debated or rather, unanimously determined who the best #1 center to attend next month’s tournament is.

 

Unsurprisingly, Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby ran away with all 7 votes:

 

“Crosby proved last season he is still the most dominant player in the NHL because of his across-the-board impact, including on the scoreboard, on the score sheet, on his linemates, and not to be forgotten, on how the opposing coach has to manage his lineup,” said senior writer Dan Rosen.

 

Anze Kopitar came in second while Crosby’s teammate, Evgeni Malkin, finished in third place.
