The playmaker build was my favorite when playing center in NHL 12. I’ve run this build for a couple hundred club games and scoring above 3 PPG. I’ve found it works quite well in anything from 6v6 to 2v2. It’s very good in all 3 zones.

Try it out, let me know what you think. Check back soon for my NHL 13 builds.
