Player Discussion How overpaid is Tavares

[Zybalto]

Interesting looking at era adjusted rankings for goals and assists all time and Tavares place on them.

Here are the players not in the HHOF in the top 50 for goals and their ranking:

1. Ovi
3. Jagr
10. Crosby
16. Stamkos
17. Marleau
27. Tkachuk
30. Malkin
31. Tavares
34. Kane
36. Bondra
38. Pavelski
44. Carter
46. Staal
50. Nash




Here are the players in the top 50 for points:

3. Jagr
4. Crosby
5. Ovi
8. Thornton
14. Malkin
16. Kane
22. Kopitar
32. Marleau
36. Stamkos
37. Giroux
41. Tavares
47. Brind'Amour
50. Damphousse


He's gonna end up crazy high on both of these lists and got me thinking of who on these lists is in danger of not making the hall based on being in a lower scoring era.

Tkachuk and Bondra sure seem to be criminally underrated as goal scorers and should be in the hall.

Maybe he's overpaid by 3 or 4 million for now.

However if he was offered 13. Does that give those numbers an over under of half or even a quarter of the difference?

I don’t think being offered more makes this a better deal for Toronto. Remember the Oilers offered David Clarkson more and he unfortunately elected to go with our offer.
