Fantasy Analysis
John Tavares should crack the 80-point mark for the first time in his career, as he is just one away from that milestone. The question will be when to pull the trigger on Tavares next season, as he's an outstanding talent on a team that offers minimal support. (Updated 04/03/2012).
Tavares has been everything the Islanders were hoping for when they selected him first overall in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft. He is a pure goal scorer that shoots the puck well, and his improvement from his rookie season is a positive sign and one would think he should only get better as the Islanders surround him with more talent. In the likely even Ryan Strome makes the team, he and Tavares could be a dynamic duo for years to come, but even without Strome, Tavares could score 30-plus goals this season and will be nothing but a positive force on Long Island.
