The Pens are an exception, but you can get away with that if your top 2 centres are Crosby and Malkin.
Opposing coaches would be licking their chops at the matchup opportunities of the Flames top two lines centred by Monahan and Bennett.

Crosby was an excellent 2-way centre. He often got Selke votes, finishing as high as 4th. He certainly wasn’t like Bergeron etc., but he more than held his own.
