Which centre trio do you take: Stützle, Norris, and Pinto or Thompson, Mittelstadt, and Cozens?

While Mittelstadt is no longer a Sabre, since he was in the past, I'm curious which trio of C do you prefer more?

Mix and arrange the other 5 names however you want, but at the end of the day it’s the trio with Stützle. At least that’s how I see it from a going forward standpoint.

I like Ottawa’s quite a bit

But Norris’s shoulder has the strength of a ritz cracker.

for certain the Tage trio.

Stutzle is the clear best player but Pinto and Norris are the two worst

I'm leaning Ottawa but mainly because I believe in Stutzle and have concern over TT being a legit #1 center really.

Have you seen Josh Norris in 2021-22 though? He looks like he is back into form so far this season so if his last shoulder surgery did the necessary, it changes everythign here.

Did you know that he scored 47 goals in 91 games before running into his injuries? He was 21-22 years old too and that was the 12th best GPG during that stretch (tied with Rantanen). He is a very good 2-way center when healthy, elite at scoring goals

Pinto is no slouch as well, didn't have much of an opportunity to prove himself with a season missed with injury and another half season due to suspension. He is a top shutdown center in the making.

Not sure why Mittelstadt is included in this poll but Thompson/Mittelstadt/Cozens are great as well so this is very close

Neither

Have you heard of Dylan Cozens? Cozens is very skilled, but he's not a particularly intelligent player nor good in much else and dating back to last season and now has produced very subpar as well.

Mittelstadt was a Sabre for the longest time, so I just thought I'd put him in for the comparison.
