We know how good New York Islanders captain John Tavares is. But it’s nice to see how fans from across the NHL view our first overall pick from the 2009 NHL draft. Because the Isles rarely get some league wide love. So we’ll take it when we can get it.
When the NHL released its top 20 centers ranking John Tavares ranks sixth, while Jonathan Toews ranks 12th overall. And fans from across the league thought that Tavares should rank higher than his Chicago Blackhawks counterpart.
The ranking is meant to create discussion, and that’s exactly what it did.
