Edit: 3 teams are represented twice on the list (EDM, PIT, NJD), which makes it a 17-team list... so 15 teams in this league don't have a C as good (or, at least, ranked as high) as our #1C.

Is there "a lot" of people here who think that? I suspect maybe 5-10 posters on all of CP. Maybe they're just loud.
But that shouldn't be confused with people questioning if the Flames should sign him for 8 more years, given his age, the other forward contracts we're already locked into and what this team needs to become a true contender.
It is possible he's both a real #1 centre and also not a good long term signing for this team.
I wouldn't take Malkin for 8 years and over $8M either.
