The St. Louis Blues have had some issues up the middle throughout their history. However, despite this, they have had some very talented centers through their years as well.
So, the NHL Network is doing some list shows during the dog days of the offseason and they are starting with the top 20 centers, wingers, defenders, etc. in the game today. Why not springboard off that and look at the Top-10 St. Louis Blues centers of all?
The Blues have an interesting dichotomy with the man up the middle. Throughout their history, the lack of a great center or, at least, depth at the position has held them back.
Despite this, the Blues have had plenty of talented players at the center position. The main problem has been getting them on the roster at the same time.

Such is the way of the St. Louis Blues luck. Anyway, let us look at some of the best Blues to play up the middle.
