Description

So there's been discussion over whether Tavares is still an elite player. I created this list of players who I believe are definitely better. I also didn't include a lot of great players including Kyle Connor, Laine, McAvoy, Provorov, Giroux, Kopitar, Toews, Karlsson, Doughty, Theodore, Svechnikov, Teravainen, Fox, Nugent hopkins, Lindholm, Monahan, Tkachuk, Gaudreau, etc because these are more debatable. I just want to see what the consensus is about his standing.

Tavares fits right in the middle of that list of centres (if they were ordered from best to worst) so take that Fir what it is. Players who play with him always seem to have career seasons.
