Who was the better leaf Tavares or McDonald?
As much I support the Leafs hate and negativity, Tkachuk did not win a Stanley Cup either.and will be the only player of the 5 to not win a Cup.bank it,
He probably will get in, but only because the standards have dropped so much. No NHL hardware, a bit of international success, Toronto Maple Leaf. It's Mats Sundin all over again!I was 50/50 on Tavares making the HHoF, but this season likely clinches it for him.
Wouldn't that require Keith Tkachuk to come out of retirement at 52 years old and win a Cup?and will be the only player of the 5 to not win a Cup.bank it,
Not exactly fair to say, Tavares likely has another 5+ years as a Leaf. Story still being written
If that's true, this management group is absolutely doomed.
In other words, he's the 1st player to score 200 goals for multiple franchises and not win a cup. Put that in the record books.and will be the only player of the 5 to not win a Cup.bank it,
But Tkachuk's son (one of them) has cup. So like, half true.As much I support the Leafs hate and negativity, Tkachuk did not win a Stanley Cup either.
But I agree with you on Tavares
But the other has never made playoffs, so it's back to 0.But Tkachuk's son (one of them) has cup. So like, half true.
McDavid when he #ComesHome to #CanadasTeamWho was the better leaf Tavares or McDonald?
The first person I thought who could end up being on the list was Matthew Tkachuk but I looked it up and he was short of 200 in CalgaryI thought for sure Ron Francis would have done it with Hartford and Pittsburgh, but nope. I wonder who else just missed the mark
Fair point.But the other has never made playoffs, so it's back to 0.
Zach Parise was close too - 199 goals with Minnesota, 194 goals with New Jersey.Recchi and Lafontaine came somewhat close and Esposito came real close.
I'm sure there's more, but I only checked a few fromthe top of my head.
I'm pretty sure nobody has ever done this. Even 100+ goals with three franchises is rare. I could only find:Follow up question:
I did find a couple of players that did score 100+ goals with 3 or more franchises, is there someone that made it to 100+ goals with 4 franchises?
Because Tavares at 5M or less is such a big problem right
