Stamkos the best? No way

Danny Churchill, Pittsburgh

The Dec. 6 issue that states Steven Stamkos is "The NHL’s New Best Player" is a joke.

How can you say the guy is the best player when he hasn't competed for a Cup, won an MVP or even won a scoring title?

The guy can't even compete against Sidney Crosby, who has a scoring title, Hart Trophy, Olympic gold medal, and a Stanley Cup. And he got all of this before the age of 23.

I think people have to stop falling in love with a guy who has a lot of talent on a mediocre team at best.
