But sure, Joe Big. Joe Better.
I'd take Teuvo.
Slight edge? 46% more goals. 14% more assists, and Teravainen is a setup man more than a shooter. And it was done in less games playing with lesser talents. I can't even imagine the difference in their possession game, as Teravainen doesn't have one. I'd like to hear your take on Teravainen's defensive game and what makes it so strong to counter balance the loss of offense, size and possession game.
