Many have come and gone. Matt Moulson, P.A. Parenteau, Kyle Okposo, Thomas Vanek, Michael Grabner and Brad Boyes have all thrown their hat in the ring.
Tavares has never had someone who could consistently put the puck in the net. Outside of Moulson, who scored 30 or more goals three times and holds the record for most goals playing with Tavares (36 in 2011-12), only two other players have reached that total.
Since Moulson’s 36-goal season, the Islanders have posted just one 30-goal scorer other than Tavares.
