Bull crap. Crosby scored 100 points in his rookie season playing with Colby Armstrong.

Suter, while a fair argument, at least has Parise and Koivu compared to Tavares' Streit and Moulson. I don't know how it could be argued that Tavares doesn't belong in discussion for the most valuable player to his team award when he's head and shoulders above anyone else on his team.
No player makes the playoffs on his own. The Islanders have a good team outside of Tavares. St.Louis doesn't have any legit stars besides Pietrangelo and he wasn't nominated.

Crosby would be more valuable to the Islanders then Tavares would be. Ergo he's the most valuable player.
