Not hard to build a "best team" when you ignore the cap and make trades that wouldn't even get accepted in NHL21 with force trades on.

One of the best left winger in league, if he is healthy... he is able to get 40+goals

He can score 40 when a top 3 player in the league feeds him the puck sure. Hes good but maybe 8th or 9th at best for left wings. Why would you choose Guentzel when you could have Stamkos

I find it funny that you think Stamkos somehow does it on his own.

I never said that but its pretty obvious that Stamkos is better than Guentzel. Those are 2 completely different sentences you are combining, I find it funny how you ignored the sentence in between them where I called your precious player a potential top 10 LWer in the league as if thats an insult

yeah you basically did. Your reference of "he can do it when he has blah blah blah" is basically a backhanded was of saying "stamkos does it all on his own" which if just pure BS through and through.
Stamkos has had nothing but help his whole career. One both sides of his line. **** Crosby and Jake have been playing basically by themselves. If they didn't have some dead weight winger like old slow hornqvist, Sheary, or Simon on their wing, they got dead weight like Jack Johnson playing 1LD.

So no, Stamkos has had way more help than Jake ever had. And those are some hard facts.

Guentzel and werenski and ellis don't make such a team.

I also take Gibson over hellebyuk but others likely argue that one.

Add MacKinnon and drai up front. Not sure who the second forward you pull is. Perhaps stone.

On d add Jones on the right. On the left to replace werenski lots of options. Choose someone else though werenski isn't the third best LD in the league

You are delusional and creating your own narrative to justify your petty argument. I never said stamkos did it alone, in fact i will gladly admit he had his fair share of help.

I am however saying Stamkos is strictly superior to Guentzel, that is not up for debate

I hate to break it to you but that book has yet to be written and right now, Stamkos is always hurt. So it's pretty hard to say he's "strictly superior" to anyone when he's on IR all the time.
I will say one thing. Jake WON a cup. 13 goals and 8 assists on the way to winning a cup. What year did Stamkos ever win ****. He sat all playoffs.

How is Stamkos "always hurt" and Guentzel isnt? So the original post I responded to said "if Guentzel is healthy" that applies to noth players, not just 1.
Also, in the last 3 years Stamkos has played more games and the same amount of playoff games than Guentzel.
Your last point made no sense, Tampa’s not going to risk Stamkos's career to play while while injured during a playoff run. Even then he did participate in 1 game took 1 shot and scored 1 goal. So if you want to cherry puck your stats Stamkos uad a 100% shooting percentage in the teams cup win.

You are not convincing anyone that Guentzel is better than Stamkos, thats just fundamentally wrong and you should stop embarrassing yourself. Regardless, as someone else mentioned above Draisaitl isnt on that team and he is obviously better than Guentzel.

jake has missed part of 1 season in 4 years.
Stamkos there is a train wreck. Yeah last 3 years... lets go look at how those last 5 have been. Nice cut of point for you.
He's hurt a ton.
Got you keep wanting to talk about embarrassing yourself. Everyone knows he has injury issues. Everyone.

Injuries don't change the fact that Stamkos is the clear better player. Crosby gets injured every single season does that make him worse than say Backstrom who never gets injured?

Not sure how Guentzel even gets into the conversation here, I see your in quite the pissing match, was this not about making the best team possible you’d think that included everyone being 100% healthy and if that’s the case your taking Stamkos 100 times out of 100 over Guentzel it’s not even close and me personally at this point of Stamkos career I’m taking Draisaitl over Stamkos 100 out of a 100, seems clear to me but hey what bleep do I know. I’d have one of Matthews or Eichel in the mix too

dude you are only as good as your last game. You got Jake on Ice skating ready to play. When everyone is going Stamkos is gonna be on IR ......again.
He's 30, injury history etc.. I'm not knocking Stamkos past play. I'm saying his injuries are basically killing his career. Which is why he's never really done anything in TB and fans the last few years have been like, we can do without him.
You don't see anyone in Pittsburgh blaming jake and basically chasing him out. Complaining about lack of leadership etc..
So spare me the nonsense. Fact is you are over here trying to argue some straw men argument. You made a back handed comment about how "jake had help" which was little more than code for "Stamkos did it on his own" and I called you out on it.
And that's that.
I'm done here.
