Mikko Koivu is a #1C?

What are the things we're looking at when we take a player who is clearly our team's #1C and decide if he's "a" #1C or not?
#1C, #1G, #1D... these are terms to refer to where guys slot on elite teams.

Is Karri Ramo a #1G? No.
Is he our #1G? Technically.

Was Jay Bouwmeester ever a #1D? No.
Was he ever our #1D? Technically.

Is Sean Monahan our #1C? Technically.
Is Sean Monahan a #1C? Still debatable and I'm sorry if you disagree but I need to see more and I need to see it more consistently. All I've ever personally argued is that, barring a sweetheart long term deal, we should bridge Monahan so it's very clear what he is.
