It’s a cold, barren landscape – the ground upon which people stand as hockey drifts into the doldrums accompanied by the dog days of winter (!!). When will hockey return, and when will the Colorado Avalanche take the ice again? The verdict is still out, but one thing is certain: when hockey eventually makes a triumphant return, fans will be treated to some of the best centers in the world. That was the hot topic of a recent debate between NHL.com writers: which center will be the best in the NHL in three seasons?
It’s fair to assume that Connor McDavid is on the list, but Nathan MacKinnon is also a lock, and he proved during last year’s playoffs why.
