Most of the elite centers have good matchups but find themselves in the middle of the top 10 due to their hefty price tags. Turris, Johnson, Ribeiro and Stastny have matchups that are too good to pass up and come at very reasonable prices on most sites. If you're set on taking a rookie down the middle, stay away from McDavid against the defensive juggernaut Blues. Eichel is the safer choice against a risk-taking Sens club.
