They give you evidence, but by themselves prove nada. Do we really need to start a list of players who produced huge numbers in the CHL and did squat in the AHL, let alone the NHL? And before you freak, I'm not suggesting that for Tavares. I really don't care who Tampa drafts as they'll both be good in all probability.

You could make that list but it probably wouldn't include any that have never really had a scoring slump in four years. Tavares is going to produce .....that said Stamkos will too and is a much better skater and potential all round player.
This is really a Stamkos vs Tavares thread and that won't be answered for a bunch of years.
