Malkin has won the Art Ross twice. 2008-09 and 2011-12. He didn't take too many faceoffs the first time, but the second time he took 1210 faceoffs. He won only 47.5%. Would you not categorize him as a top center during that year?
I think the anti-McDavid bias is significantly showing. Oilers suck and probably are going to continue doing so, but McDavid is a Top 2 center in the league today, and there is little to no debate on that.
