Fist, very close call but I would go with Toews.

Stamkos the more "skilled" player, but I would take Toews as the more all around guy.

This is a difficult decision, but I would take Toews for his two-way play. I have always asked myself a similar question, Stamkos vs. Tavares.

I think that is debatable Stamkos probably has the upper hand offensively but that is one aspect of hockey so it doesnt really make him the better player I would take Toews right now because he is a proven winner. Thats not to say Stammer wont win a cup but if I where to pick today I would Take Toews

Both great players but play a different style of game so it makes it tough to compare head to head.

I would easily take Stamkos. Guys who score 60 goals a season before they turn 25 aren't guys you pass over.

Toews. Not that its a slam dunk even for a Hawks' fan. The difference for me comes down to the majority of Cup winners have had elite two way centers leading the way.

Lol so you pass over the better player for a better "leader?" Toews is a winner because he played with Kane, Keith, Sharp, Seabrook, etc. aka arguably the best team in the NHL for a few of Toews' seasons. Stamkos on CHI is just as good a "leader" and just as much a winner.

Todd did some stats the other day that show that Toews is just behind Stammer with alot less minutes played

This reminds me of all the people who insisted Trottier was better than Gretzky because he played the better all-around game.

Offensively speaking, comparing Stamkos to Toews is apples to oranges. Stamkos is by far the better player offensively.

Majority is the key word, bro. I guess Messier wasn't elite.

Before last year I woulda said toews. But after seeing him crying like a baby in the playoffs when things didnt go his way, I would have to say Stammer. Toews also managed to destroy any comparisons he had to Yzerman with his temper tantrums.
