If you have an elite offensive winger, you don't need an elite offensive C, you need a great two-way C.
Examples: Trottier with Bossy, Toews with Kane, Lemaire with Lafleur, Bergeron with Pastrnak
You need your top line to be able to go head to head against other top lines, and a great 200-ft C, along with an elite winger and an elite shooter/scorer is one of the most iconic ways to build an elite top line.
