What is the definition of a first line centre? It's an interesting position that cofias has, even if it's not necessarily what I consider a 1C (for the record I have never considered Monahan a 1C). Craig Conroy never got his due as a 1C even though he was probably the best centre Iginla ever played with, whereas Jokinen was hyped as a 1C yet never even played well enough to be considered a 2C in my eyes.
If cofias' definition of a 1C is something like this: A centre who is able to drive superior goal differentials while logging minutes playing all three key situations (PP / SH / 5v5) then it's hard to argue against his claim. I doubt even a guy like Tavares completely satisfies that definition.
