Who exactly are the top 10 centers in the league? Is Toews a top 10 because his team won twice in the last few years, what about H Sedin who can't do squat in the playoffs but scores a tonne in the regular season. Top 10 centers are the flavor of the season, I'll be happy just to be able to call a player a #1 on the Flames.

Don't really want to pollute a prospect thread, but being 11th in the league in points per game in the playoffs over the last half decade is "not doing squat"?

With regards to Monahan, the OP is correct that he doesn't really project to be a top 10 offensive guy (Crosby, Stamkos, Datsyuk, Tavares, etc.), but more of a top end 2 way guy who can play in all situations and thrive in tough minutes. And there's nothing wrong with that at all. Some might argue that a guy like that is more valuable than a pure offensive player.
