Lol

 

[BlueBaron]

This will be closer than it should be. No one sane take O'Reilly.

 

[Aladyyn]

Crazy that people evaluate players based on name value and draft position.

 

[CanadienShark]

No one should vote ROR. Not even remotely close.

And points and goals and ability and all that other fun stuff.

 

[Hockeyholic]

Unless someone is related to Tim Hortons boy, I can't see how he gets any votes here.

I guess 2 points is AINEC territory these days?

 

[CupsOverCash]

Id take ROR on the Lightning over Tavares. We have players like Tavares, a big dominant center like ROR would easily put TB over the top.

Isles fan voting Tavares

I see it opposite, this should be a lot closer than it is. Tavares has obviously been the better player to date in their careers but right now they are close.

OReilly has 2 fewer points than him but has 10 more points than the next leading scorer on STL, Tarasenko.

So you think O'R suddenly became as good as JT or do you think it more likely he is just having an above average year?

I was thinking more the career highs of 86,84 and 81 points compared to the career highs of 64, 61 and 60.

Not even in the same stratosphere

It was always closer than people thought and this season ROR has overtaken JT.

FWIW I'm a big fan of both players.

One of these guys is a 0.93 ppg player, the other is 0.68 ppg.
I'll take Tavres quite easily without even having to be a homer.

Insecurity poll after ROR wins another matchup against an "elite" 1C

 

[Bluesish]

I love ROR but come on, Tavares easily.

 

[Aladyyn]

AINEC btw

 

[Dbrownss]

Closer then some would like. But Tavares.

Its funny that you think TB needs anything to put them over the top

Eh I dont know. Even though we are playing really well the playoffs are a different beast. Not easy to win the cup. Even with a stacked team.

And Hart trophy finalists, and goals and assists, attitude, ability to dominate the opposition, and stuff like that.

What poll?

I could be wrong but I think the OP is a Caps fan, so I doubt there is much of an agenda here.

 

[Captain Mountain]

Tavares, but ROR isn't that far off.

 

[Makar Goes Fast]

isnt ROR a third line center?
