We can actually watch them play the game and rate them on that rather than say this guy is better because player x supposedly is the 2nd line guy and player y is supposedly a 1st line guy on their team.
This of course ignores the fact that 1st/2nd/3rd line labels are stupid and useless in todays game as the teams are not constructed that simply for the most part.

No. Pittsburgh is a very rare case. You can't compare the reasons Malkin is a #2 centre to anyone else in the entire NHL. Bergeron is a second line centre because David Krecji is better than him.
