ALEKSANDER BARKOV - Center - 23 - $5.9MM Cap Hit - UFA in 2022-2023
LAST UPDATED 3/5/19
Since getting drafted 2nd overall in 2013, Barkov has blossomed into one of the league's premier two-way centers. The definition of an elite, complete first line pivot, Barkov has been scoring at a consistently point-per-game pace for the past two seasons, combining that scoring with Selke-level defense. He's bulked up as he's progressed into his 20's, and the result of that added muscle is Barkov is an asset in front of the net and in the corners. He plays incredibly strong on the puck, and uses that strength and balance to create space and time for better offensive opportunities. He's had some lingering injury concerns, and he's prone to missing time in pretty much every season he plays in, but when he's healthy he's an elite 1C.
