The value of a big defensively responsible centre who can score is just too great in todays NHL.

As I said, I wasn't comparing them with position in mind. That said, if I am starting a team, JG has serious consideration as my first line winger (but Benn wins). Barkov ain't my first line centre. Or second. Or third. That's mostly an issue of centre depth versus wing depth in the NHL I guess.
