When Boyle scored 21 goals, he started 60% of his shifts in the defensive zone. That's pretty heavy defensive minutes, but not unreasonable.

Last year, Boyle started more than 70% of his shifts in the defensive zone. He was on the ice for 187 offensive zone faceoffs and 463 defensive zone faceoffs. Of all forwards in the NHL, Brian Boyle was used more defensively than all but 4 (Jim Slater and 3 Canucks).

Those are definitely not the kind of minutes you want to give to Alex Tanguay. If Tanguay was a Ranger, he would certainly not play on a line with Boyle.

Moulson but it's close.

Tavares really sets him up with some beauty plays that not many other guys in the NHL would be able to do. Moulson would be a 15-25 goal scorer without Tavares most likely, he is pretty average in every other area of his game.

With that being said, I take Moulson because he has proven to be a clutch goal scorer.

Tanguay is a 15-25g scorer without an elite center on his line and when you factor in his playmaking, it isn't close.

Tanguay has already proven to be the clutch in the biggest stage of hockey. 2g 1a in game 7 of the cup finals. PPG in the playoffs.

He might be more skilled, but at 980 games, Tanguay doesn't have a lot of hockey left in him.

Tanguay. Deadly winger, Moulson is a great goal scorer, but he relies on a very solid centre.

[LightningStrikes]

Tanguay works well with Iginla but was terrible in Tampa. I'd go with Moulson who's the better goal scorer today, too.

Matt Moulson

of course when you ask for the players today, it's Moulson, he is 4 years younger. If they are the same age, I take tanguay
