I take Tavares here because I think he's getting better, he's younger, and ultimately I think he'll put more points up consistently. Gaborik just scares me still with injuries. I know it's been awhile since he's been out for a long time, but that nagging thought just goes away if I take Tavares.

not even effin close! how people vote for gaborik is just a shame come in my keeper league u dumbass's lol

Tavares' youth pretty much wins it for me.

Sky's the limit for JT while Id say 90 might be the limit for Gaborik even in a healthy season. Factor in the age and it's not close even given the teams they play on.

I didn't realize that Gaborik had 10 family members who are on Dobber.

In a points only keeper Tavares with his youth is going far in this cage tourney
