We have a new segment to introduce this off-season as we get closer and closer to preparing for the regular season!
Brandon Piller and Ross Levitan have decided to see how the Ottawa Senators stack up positionally against all of their Atlantic Division opponents! Today we are looking at Centremen. How do we rank each teams overall centre depth? And who are the top ten Centres in the division?

The tiers for me would be:
Tier 1
Panthers
Lightning
Tier 2
Senators
Maple Leafs
Tier 3
Canadiens
Red Wings
Tier 4
Sabres
Bruins
The top and bottom 2 tiers are closer to eachother than tier 2 and 3 are. Not sure how Montreal is in a tier with Ottawa because they only have 1 top 6 center leaving a massive hole and no 4C that's 2 holes right there and you could argue that Florida should be in a tier of their own
Looks about right to me! It's weird seeing Boston at the bottom.
Pinto not at #10 is highway robbery.
For the Sens you should of mention the players that are not true centre, but are elite at winning faceoffs (Tkachuk and Giroux) i think that you should of mention it for if/when injuries occur.
When it comes to centre depth among Canadian NHL teams, I’d say that of the Oilers is pretty good, with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl two very versatile forwards. A tear below that I would put in the Jets, Leafs and Sens, with those, going from west to east, the Canucks, Flames and Habs bringing up the rear.
You were generous putting Montreal at 5. No way are they in the same tier as Ottawa.
Divisional rankings by position is great summer content!
If Nicolas Roy doesn't score 102 points it will be a disaster 😮
Not even a Wings fan but their C depth looks better than both Habs and Sabres
I think I’d put Boston above mtl
Habs fans will say Suzuki had more points but they conveniently forget that he still hasn't beaten Stutzle's single season PB. Stutzle sacrificed 10 pts or so to be better in his own zone. That's what makes him the better player.
Hi guys 🎉🎉I wish we can beat those teams this year! Go Sens Go 🫵
Montreal is a peculiar case Nick Suzuki finished top 6 in point for a center in the NHL last year Only 5 guys went above: Mackinnon, Draisatl, McDavid, Crosby and Eichel. Better than Barkov, Mattthews, Point , Norris and Stützle and Larkin.
But after Nick Suzuki is a weird bunch normally the second post goes to Kirby Dach which we all know have not been healthy much in his career and had showned a more better performance as the right wing on the #13 Caufield (LW)- #14 Suzuki Line (C). Since his transfer from to Montreal Chicago so most of his responsibility have been transfered to Former Avalanche Alex Newhook (C/AG) how ever like Dach, Newhook is more a winger than a Center. Lefting us with #71 Jake Evans who is an excellent forth line center but moving him up from the fourth to the third is an overeach and over that line is clearly a fantasy. while the Former Red Wing Joe Veleno can filled the Center position fourth line if needed.
Hage is a good propect for the habs but his playing style remind us of another winger than a center but it seems to need another year in college before reaching the pro.
#62 Owen Beck Continued his developpement in Laval with other centre #91 Oliver Kapanen and #63 Florian Xhekaj. #76/#49 Jared Davidson and #86 Riley Kidney under the tutelage of forner nhl 4th line center veteran #45/#27 Laurent "Flipper" Dauphin and team Captain #82 Lucas Condotta and former Captain #60/#22 Alex Belzile
The new sensation #93 Ivan Demidov has all the talent in the world to become a fantastik center however giving him the responsability to center the second might be too much for him .
The last thing we wants is too burn another prospect on the pressure cooker that is Montreal where traditionnally a season without the cup is a bad Season.
The last candidate left is the new comer from St.Louis, Blues #76 Zachary Bolduc was draft as a Center 17th over by the St.Louis Blues back in 2021. but the last two season played as a winger. Bolduc has more goals than both Dach and Newhook
So Suzuki (30) , Bolduc (19), Newhook (15), Evans(13) might been the best before Dach (10) and Veleno (8).
Why is Tage Thompson not 1C on Buffalo?? Norris is 2C for sure..
How do you have Tampa above Toronto if Matthews is above Point and Tavares is above Cirelli
Larkin disrespect is crazy
Homer pick for Buffal with Neuf
Montreal was also led by some good goaltending in Montembeault
Pinto's the number 2
More offensive pop through the lineup for the Sens
As a Sens fan Suzuki is ahead of Stutzle
