One thing that is obvious with these lists is hockey is a team sport. Toews once a top 3 center now not in top 20? Why, his team isn't a good. Oreilly has never been top 20 now hes 15 because of team success
I'd also like to see these lists tiered
As an example
Tier 1 McDavid and Crosby
Tier 2 players ranked 3 to 8. Anyone of these guys could be 3
Tier 3 players 9 to 14. Borderline top 10 group
Tier 4 players 15 to 25. Acknowledged that bottom 6 were close to being off the list.
As for Monahan. Not sure why we need to label him as a number 1 center or not or if he number on playoff team vs a contender as the opinions of everyone change as teams have success. Hes a damn good hockey player that I doubt anyone can list 31 better than him. Maybe a borderline #1 center? Definitely not top 10
