I've got news for you folks, Stepan is a #1 center. By definition around here, only Crosby, Malkin, Toews, Backstrom, Datsyuk, and Stamkos are #1 centers. Consistency has been an issue this year. There aren't many centers in this league that give you at least 60 points a year with great defense.
The issue is not with Stepan, but what comes after him. Grinders, and a pair of inconsistent 2nd/3rd line tweeners, one overpaid and the other wildly inconsistent. We lack a true #2, not #1.
