NHL Network began a nine-part series on Sunday looking at the best players in the League right now. The first installment ranked the top 20 centers. To add to that conversation, we asked 10 NHL.com writers to rank the 23-and-under centers they think will be the best in the NHL in three seasons, with each voter awarding 10 points to the player ranked No. 1, nine for No. 2, and so on.
