Its been done for the NFL, and MLB, so i'll start one for hockey

Vote for the top 4 centers of all time. Joke votes will not be counted, and extreme homerism is frowned upon

NHL ALL-TIME TEAM NEEDS CENTERS

I'm going to use post WWII as a launching point with Stewart as the lone exception:

#1 - The Great One...#99 inducted into the HOF in 1999.
#2 - Super Mario -  Might have broken Gretzky's records if not for the health issues. For that to even be considered is amazing! 
#3 - Phil Esposito - Perhaps the strongest center ever.
#4 - Nelson Stewart - Held All-time scoring record till "The Rocket" broke his mark.
#5 - Stan Mikita - Ultra savvy, a pro's pro.
#6 - Mark Messier - Great leader. Brought his "A" game every night!
#7 - Jean Beliveau - Habs superstar who was a credit to the game.
#8 - Alex Delvecchio - Great player who was always in position.
#9 - Jean Ratelle - Starred for the Rangers for many years.
#10 - Bobby Clarke - Unquestioned leader for the "Broad Street Bullies".
#11 - Marcel Dionne - Dangerous scorer with blinding speed.
#12 - Peter Stasny - Nordiques scoring machine in the 80's.
#13 - Bryan Trottier - Islander captain on their great Cup winning teams.
#14 - Ron Francis - Class act.
#15 - Sid Abel - Fed Howe for years in Detroit.
#16 - Jacques Lemaire - Great in the clutch.
#17 - Dave Keon - Mr. Backhand
#18 - Henri Richard - The "Pocket Rocket" was great in his own right.
#19 - Steve Yzerman - Future HOFer for the Red Wings
#20 - Norm Ullman - Like the EverReady Battery, he was there every night.

NHL ALL-TIME TEAM NEEDS CENTERS

Just throwing out some other names that haven't been mentioned yet:   Denis Savard, Gilbert Perreault, Mats Sundin, Adam Oates, Pierre Turgeon, Vincent Damphousse, Jeremy Roenick,  Doug Gilmour, Pat LaFontaine and of course Mike Modano (Go USA...lol).

In case anyone is wondering why Messier makes my Top 4:

And let's not forget... Mark Messier won as many Stanley Cups as Wayne Gretzky and Super Mario COMBINED.    ;)
