NHL.com has a list of the top 20 plus 5 on the bubble, so basically the top 25 centres .

Monahan comes in at #19.

There are 4 teams with 2 guys in the top 25 Toronto, Pittsburgh, Tampa and Washington.

There are 6 teams that have a top-25 C that missed the playoffs. Edmonton, Florida, Buffalo, Vancouver and Chicago and Detroit.

14 of the 16 teams that made the playoffs had a top 25 C Nashville and Vegas did not and and they both lost in the first round.

Nashville has since obtained Duchense leaving Columbus with no top 25 C.

I personally would have had Ryan Johansen and possibly Dubois at least on the bubble, based on their more complete game.

How important is a #1C to a team's success? Playoff success?
