Are you really trying to compare playing with Tampa vs playing with Calgary?

Even if you put aside the massive difference in quality of teams (which is how you get playoff trophies), just looking at linemates:

One guy's played most of his entire career with Stamkos and Point.
The other guy's played most of his entire career with Backlund and Frolik.

Matthew Tkachuk has scored 100+ points in every single season that he hasn't been primarily deployed in a shutdown role with Michael Backlund. Think about that for a second.
