Kopitar isn't elite, but is very solid, Richards is defensively elite but not offensively ... Stoll is defensively good. Bergeron/Krecji are both very solid but not elite.

Kopitar is pretty close to elite if he isn't and Richards is the perfect 2nd line center who could be a 1st line center on a lot of teams. Doesn't really get much better than that 1-2 punch unless you are the Penguins. Bergeron/Krecji are both amongst the best 2-way centres in the league so they can match up well against top teams. Bottom line is you need your best forwards to be centers.
