But it's fine when you repeatedly use it to showcase the difference between Tarasenko and Gaudreau.

Why not? Because you're obsessed over cheery picking 1-2 year spots with which to prove your points. It's absolutely comparable.

That's nice that you have that
opinion but the actual evidence doesn't support that.

I'd consider good in a broader range of players who are pretty definitively inside the top 15-50 in their position, could be an all star in a given year, but don't have a realistic shot at winning any major individual trophies.

Problem is, Gaudreau hasn't proven he fits the definition of elite you described.
Monahan hasn't proven he's limited to the definition of good you described.
What about your definition? Scoring title huh? Toews and Bergeron aren't elite? Just "good"?
You're using unfounded and inconsistent
opinions to support your argument as though they're facts. They aren't.
