Unveiled: The Shocking NHL Centers Rankings That Could Reshape the Playoff Race
If that can’t be accomplished, the Blues at the very least need a trustworthy player behind Schenn. Sundqvist won’t cut it as the team’s 3C.
20. New York Rangers
Current quality: 33rd percentile
Looking for: Bottom six centers
If the Rangers hold on to Mika Zibanejad — though there’s increasing reason to think that they won’t — their on-paper center depth would improve. In these rankings, they’d be comfortably inside the top 10.
Of course, that’d leave out some important context. Both sides seem to be done with each other, though Zibanejad’s contract ($8.5 million AAV through 2030 with full trade protection) remains a roadblock. Getting out from under Zibanejad’s contract isn’t a bad idea, but his absence would certainly make the Rangers worse in the short term.
