More points next season: Slafkovsky vs Tavares

[NyQuil]

Tavares was solid at the World Championships. I know it's semi-competitive but he looked solid both offensively and defensively.

I go with him just based on the sample size of his career. Slav which undoubtedly exceed Tavares in the near future, just not sure it will be this season. He should get every opportunity to do so, but young players can be streaky.

Tavares because of the surrounding cast, Montreal is still young. Slaf probably ends up as a PPG player in a couple years, just don't see them making that leap this season. Tavares will get points simply by being on a line with Marner/Nylander + PP time with Matthews.

Habs fan here, voted JT.

I believe Slaf will become a ppg player eventually, but his development might not be linear, he will have some bump. I predict around 60 points for him this year. JT will get more than that.

Tavares will probably be 3C at the end of the season with Kampf replacing him

@HFpapi @34 correct me if I’m wrong

JT is very slow now. You might be right about him being the 3 C.
