Have you seen how slow tavares is and where is Barzal

hahaha ya id be salty too if he left my team ?

Seriously though have you seen him skate he’s not a good skater that’s the only knock on his game. He’s slow and tends to not skate back into the defensive zone

well he was fast enough to score 37 goals on a poop team last season ??‍♂️ fast enough to be a #1 overall selection in draft,,, fast enough to get paid 11mil in free agency....fast enough for a .93 ppg over career i dont think its an issue haha

I think you misunderstand the post in general; it's not literally about skating just the top 31 players minus the goalies. If it was ranking purely skaters Barzal would definitely be there instead of Tavares.
