Showdown: Toews vs. Stamkos

I have always been a big fan of "Who's Better" comparisons between two great players. It was always my favorite feature in Hockey Digest during the 1970s and 1980s and I also enjoy the ones that TSN and others have done. So I thought it would fun to periodically do a HockeyBuzz version of it.

In the first installment, we'll pit Chicago's Jonathan Toews head-to-head with Tampa's Steven Stamkos. In the real world, any team in the NHL would salivate at the opportunity to acquire either player, and they couldn't go wrong with either one as the cornerstone of their team. It's just a matter of having the right surrounding cast, which Toews has enjoyed in winning two Stanley Cups with Chicago and Stamkos has not yet had in Tampa Bay.

We're going to ask you, the readers, to make a one-or-the-other choice: If you were starting an NHL team and somehow found yourself the choice between either Toews or Stamkos as your first signing -- passing up the other one in the process -- which one would you with? Would you go for Stamkos' prolific scoring? Or would you go for Toews' somewhat more well-rounded game?

Cast your vote below, and let the debate begin on the message board!
