Any which way you slice it though, it's a dumb comparison in the first place. There are about 30 guys who make up an NHL team over the course of a typical season. One player, no matter how great, can't overcome a collection of slugs for teammates.

Fair enough and I do agree, still tho, one could make the point that the Oilers were a much better team (on paper at least) then what Tavares had to work with.
