That day you said Tkachuk has done a lot more then Gillies and now you say all Gillies has done is win games, put up numbers on an upward trajectory. So what more could Gillies have done to put up numbers equal or better to Tkachuk?

Nothing. That's the problem with apples and oranges comparisons.
What I'm saying is that Tkachuk put up gaudy numbers in one season, and Gillies put up good numbers in several seasons. They both won championships, but Tkachuk did it right away and it took Gillies a few years to get there (not that it's all on one player in either case).
Plus, if you look back to my original argument, it was about which player has a greater chance of being a star in the NHL, not necessarily about whether Gillies was good or not. He's good, very good, I said as much at the time. But what I added is that there are more question marks around Gillies than Tkachuk...at least for me. Hence the slightly lower ranking.
That's it.
Satisfied?
