7-8 of the guys on your list, including Draisaitl, who you have as the #3 center overall, are the #2 centers on their team. Guys like Draisaitl, Malkin, Stamkos, Hischier, etc are better suited as #2 line centers on elite teams or in some cases even just average teams because that’s exactly where they play.
So, again, stuff like “better suited to be a 2nd line center on an elite team” is just made up nonsense.
