Washington won last year with more east/west type centers.
Agree re: C need and multiple ways to team build, however, the Cs do need to be able to provide physical North/south thrust should it necessitate.
Take TBay for example no one would argue regarding their C skill/depth, but all of them except Miller are east/west types and rarely provide north/south thrust. Playoff hockey almost always calls for north/south game. That’s my take anyway.
STL & Bos Cs though not overly large have enough size/strength to provide that north/south thrust.
