In his first 14 games with the Toronto Maple Leafs, John Tavares has eight goals and eight assists for 16 points, good enough for 19th in the league.
Sadly, people are still hating on Tavares even though he has been one of the best players in the NHL this season.
People are too focused on goals and assists (even though JT is higher than a point per game, people are still upset with him) and do not focus enough on the 200 foot game that he provides for the team.
Overall Gameplay
Tavares was not brought in just for the offensive attributes he brings to the team, he was brought in because he knows how to play in the defensive end as well.
