Barkov has shut down most of the best in the NHL. For some reason in the postseason his line wasn't matched up aganist Tavares. If he had been aganist Tavares perhaps the series would've ended differently.

Where is the proof of this?

Because Stamkos is your star.

Kucherov is better than Stamkos.

That is what Dan meant to say in this article

I don't think so. He had plenty of opportunity to do so and chose not too.

Perhaps they didnt want to match him up against a better Center and let their number 1 offensive line get bullied around
