</script></div><p>You should never be comfortable with your fantasy team, always be looking for ways to improve your squad as you gear up for a long playoff run. As the NHL hits their Olympic Break it is a perfect time to sit back and examine what we come in the final six weeks of action.</p>
<p>The center pivots the entire offense and is a deep pool with many teams only having spot for three or four centers on a fantasy team. Having a center that creates for others is ideal but one that contributes on special teams both power play and shorthanded is one that should take precedent over just plan scorers.</p>
<p>As we saw in the NHL Fantasy Rankings for goalies and defensemen there were some surprises, which will make a huge fantasy impact down the stretch. That is the same feeling among the best centers in the league as time winds down on the NHL and Fantasy seasons</p>
<p>Here are the Olympic Break rankings for Centers:</p>
