Unveiled: The Shocking NHL Centers Rankings That Could Reshape the Playoff Race

19. St. Louis Blues
Current quality: 38th percentile
Looking for: Middle-six center
Robert Thomas was incredible last season and has emerged as one of the game’s best. Oskar Sundqvist is a perfectly cromulent 4C. Those are St. Louis’ center bookends — what they need is to fill the hole between them, whether that means a top-six center in front of Brayden Schenn, or a top-nine center behind him.
Schenn looked great once Jim Montgomery took over, meshing well on a line with Dylan Holloway and Jordan Kyrou. But if we’re looking at the league’s best teams, 2C is definitely an area where St. Louis is lacking in comparison. Shifting Schenn down would be the ideal move, allowing him to win bottom-six matchups. Without a superstar forward, St. Louis’ best bet is building a depth advantage.
