Well said. Stamkos' game is alot better rounded than Tavares game IMO. Stamkos has world class speed, makes plays at full speed, can play defensively in his own zone, and ultimately he can put up tons of points, scores goals, be a great leader. You cant go wrong with this guy. I think he's goingto live up to the hype

if you had to choose one or the other you would be a fool not to take Stamkos over Tavares, not to be little Tavares but Stamkos is gonna lead his team not just score for it.

Stamkos is going to be a leader as well as a better two way player than Tavares, but I think Tavares will kill him for points when all is said and done.

To me its not a no brainer. I'd probably go with Tavares just because a guy with his potential doesnt come around often. Stamkos is ridiculously well rounded, and gives you the total package, but I'd probably risk it and take Tavares over him.

Stamkos is more Talented then Tavares, Stamkos is like Stevie Y or a Less physical Mark Messier, I would say Tavares is more like a Bret Hull or Luc Robitaille, both who had amazin skill but were never the player that pushed there team to a Cup.
