I agree. 1-2 punches down the middle get it done. Anything can happen in any one given year. But give them 7 chances, and they will bring it home.
Sakic-Forsberg
Yzerman-Fedorov
Matthews-Tavares
Matthews will easily be up there, and so will Tavares after he wins his inevitable cup in Toronto.
I never said Matthews is better than those guys, but he’s trending to be the same caliber of player. Tavares is as close to that level as just about any current center besides the Crosby/McDavid types. These are the superstar centers I’m referring to. Not Pavelski or Gartner or Nicholls.
Well you did compare Tavares/Matthews to them...so yes obviously you said they were on the same level. You then go on to say that Matthews and Tavares will be easily be on that level. The only way to reach that level is to be the best player in the world at some point in your career something that Tavares has never done and probably wont and something that Matthews might do one day if he gets significantly better and gets lucky at the same time.
In no way is Tavares close to that level and in no way will it be easy for him or Matthews to reach it.
