Edmonton Oilers superstar Connor McDavid is the best center in NHL 24. The Canadian boasts an incredible 97 overall, which includes 97 Acceleration, 98 Agility, and 98 Speed.
No other center can match this speed, but Nathan MacKinnon comes close. Cale Makar’s Colorado Avalanche teammate’s 96 Acceleration and 96 Speed is the closest in style you will find to McDavid.
The likes of Leon Draisaitl and Sidney Crosby are still among the best in the position. However, neither player possesses the blistering speed of the first two players mentioned.
