Toronto Maple Leafs forward John Tavares is one goal away from reaching the historic 500-goal mark.
John Tavares might be the most underappreciated superstar in the NHL right now. Currently in his eighth season with the Toronto Maple Leafs, the 35-year-old is off to another great start with five goals and 12 points in nine games.
In seven games, he'll reach 1,200 career games played and is nearly a career point-per-game player with 1,126 points thus far. Since Tavares hasn't won a Stanley Cup in Toronto yet, it feels like fans have been very critical on him despite being conistent for 17 straight seasons.
