That's certainly not what I said
Except it kind of is what you said, when you selectively picked out the one metric that included empty net points but excluded PP points, in order to make Tavares look the worst.
Not 5v5, where among centers, he is 40th in points (just a couple points away from the top-25) and 20th in goals, despite career worst 5v5 puck luck thus far this year.
Not PP, where among centers, he is 7th in points and 10th in goals.
Not overall, where among centers, he is 25th in points and 19th in goals.
And certainly not any of the non-point things he brings to the team.
