So all a #1 centre has to do is be able to play with smart and skilled players?
That seems counter to the fact that in the NHL #1 centers are considered the most valuable commodity.
What precisely has Sam demonstrated to suggest he can be an effective #1 NHL pivot. Is it the lack of consistent production? Bone handed penalties in the offensive zone? Blown assignments?
