2020 Redraft - Top 5

The post I was responding to was a guy specifically talking about Lundell being much further behind offensively than the others listed.

Ya Lundell and Pinto are two great young offensive/defensive young gun centres,
Real good third line centres atm,

Yeah but the odds of Lundell turning into a bonafide #1 center are very bad, regardless of whether centers take longer to develop or not.

Says who? I dont think it's VERY bad. He was a .5 ppg with very little PP time (and on the second unit). He had 29 EV points, shot 8%, and now has 15 points in 20 games in the playoffs. Also is very defensively sound.

I think he likely fits in as a solid David Krejci type player. But to say bonafide center chances are very bad is a slight to his potential.
