Before we turn the page on this past 10-year stretch and officially hand the keys off to the next generation, it’s worth looking back on what the game’s best accomplished over that span. SachdevaSonny lists the top-five centremen of the decade.
Connor McDavid’s career throws the biggest wrench into any look at the past decade of NHL greats.
But aside from the hardware haul, it’s what McDavid did for the game overall that leaves him as the second-most impactful pivot of the 2010s. Climbing back into the league’s upper echelon required not just Crosby’s best but Evgeni Malkin’s too. The Winnipeg, Man., native captained his Blackhawks to three championships over the past decade, lifting Chicago from being the owner of an infamous championship drought to being mentioned in the same breath as genuine dynasties.
Though he wasn’t the most lethal scorer or the most stifling two-way talent over the course of the 2010s, Toews excelled enough in every aspect of his skill-set to make himself supremely valuable in every facet of the game — power play, even strength, penalty kill, protecting the lead, clawing back.
