What do you consider a true 1C? What do you consider elite?Id argue Suzuki is your 2C and you need a true 1C to be elite.
Suzuki is 9th in points, 8th in even strength points, 3rd in OT goals. 51 percent in the face off circle. +11 on a middling team. Strong leadership, elevates his teammates. Plays PK and PP, blocks shots, ranked 12th in centers for takeaways. He does all of those things against the opposing team's best players every night.
For me, a good debate is whether he has the potential to be a top 10 C in the league. I think he is already in the top 15; he is headed for a PPG season while playing a solid two way game.
I don't think there is much of a debate as to whether he is a #2 or #1C, personally.
