...and surely you also realize that both Schwartz and Tarasenko are averaging a point a game, right? (Tarasenko 1.02 and Schgwartz .95 ppg)
Again, I concede. You just keep blowing me out of the water with these stats. First I have to concede that any sane person would want he guy that is 38th in points over the guy that is 9th. As if that wasn't enough humiliation, I now have to admit that a guy scoring 1.02 points per game is clearly inferior to the guy scoring .95 ppg. Oh the humiliation!!
Maybe you should just stop posting stats. I can't take it any more...

OK, just so I am clear in my concession speech... As long as Schwartz is on the ice and skating really hard, most players in Tarasenko's position would have the same or similar success. And without Schwartz on the ice, skating really hard all the time, Tarasenko is just another average player? Or as you put it, Tarasenko needs Schwartz but Schwartz does not need Tarasenko. I think I got it now...
Please tell me you're just trolling...
Schwartz makes everyone on the ice better.....Tarasenko doesn't have that ability. Schwartz HANDS DOWN over Tarasenko for MVP.....you might be able to make a case for Shattenkirk.....but no way for Tarasenko. He's got great hands and a great shot....a pure goal scorer. But not the most valuable player to THIS team. In fact, he hasn't really done chit that last 7-10 games.......the Blues don't have to have a scoring Tarasenko to win. We've already seen what happens when Schwartz is out of the lineup.
On another note, genius, if you take Schwartz ppg avg. over 46 games like Tarasenko has and he is 16th in the league.....you might want to look who is in the top 20 before you start trying to make your next case that top 20 doesn't make you team MVP material.
