I was wondering if anyone knows if there are any up and coming superstars with the potential of Gretzky or Crosby?
Tavares? After 08 it's hard to tell 2 years is too much to say that a guy will be as good as crosby or close to him.
Tavares = Crosby all over again.
he is just simply awesome, already lighting up the OHL as a 16 year old and did very well last year as a 15 year old and has been pegged as the next great one.
Sorry, but I wouldn't equate Crosby with Gretzky just yet.
Are there any Gretzky's on the way down the pike (meaning someone who will shatter all records and define the game for generations)? Sadly nope.
Are there any Crosby's on the way (super talented high end player who will lead the NHL in scoring for several years), possibly. Tavares is very good but it's much to early to say that he will be the next Crosby.
Breaking record? Skill isnt the problem... the game is.
Exactly, Crosby has the skill set and demeanor to do it, and if he played in an era similar to gretzkys (sucky goalies, 8 goals a game) he atleast get close, maybe break them....
But in the NHL the way it is now i dont see it happening.
To be honest i prefer Tavares style of play to Crosby's, he seems to have the potential to be just as good, but more of a goal scorer...
The only thing about this year about Crosby I find really negative is he isnt shooting enough, he has 36 goals but he has such a sick scoring touch and set of skills, I know hes a playmaer but I think if he would of shot more he could have still had like 70-75 assists with 45-50 goals. I think a guy with that good of a scoring tough should definitely shoot more then he does.
would you pick tavares over crosby?? my guess. NO.
I never would, and thats not what i meant. What I meant is i would be a bigger fan of Tavares and I prefer his style of play, he shoots and scores, Crosby passes and assists..
Crosby is obviously better (duh) and would go over Tavares.
yeah. thats what i thought
personally im a big fan of great playmakers. i also like the danglers a lot.
