I don,t think so. Crosby is more gifted offensively but Toews is a better all round player. I am pretty sure if you asked all of the GM's in the league as to which player they would choose to build around , it would be surprisingly even.

I know that I always wanted Steve Yzerman over Wayne Gretzky

The Chicago Blackhawks are a much better team than the Pittsburgh Penguins.
- FinAddict

They have much better D and don't have Fleury in net but it's hardly a massive difference overall.

I doubt it, Toews is a better leader and not as concussion prone.
- HawkfaninBC


Better leader yes, not as concussion prone yes, Still I'd take the guy with four 100 pt seasons over the guy with one 70 point season.

Toews and Crosby will both play our their careers in Chicago and Pittsburgh so the conversation is pointless.
Chicago is the third largest City in the USA and is hockey crazy. Toews's endorsements are through the roof as are Patrick Kanes'

Deals that will dwarf salary considerations. Same can be said for Crosby.

I understand Dub has bad games but I don't get how no one blames the oilers forwards and D for that game last night and a lot of other games. If I was Dub I would have broke my stick over one of the oilers head. I hope we get a legit #1 goalie and 15 games into next year he says f uck this poop I want a trade, no one back checks or takes/gives a hit or clears the puck after the original save. Everyone says no one has confidence in Dub while I think its the other way around for Dub in the oilers to. 4 0 and its Dubs fault, DONT FING MAKE ME LAUGH. I pray we trade him so he can show his skill behind a real team.

I hear you. Im one to say that Dubey is not the only problem but he definetely is one of the biggest problems. The forwards, defense, have problems of their own, but when the goalie cannot stop the soft ones, consistently and every single shot from the other team handcuffs him, i start diubting his quality.

Richard Bachman was stellar against LA, does that make him a star? No. But if he were to show that in 3 out of 4 games he would be an nhl starter. Does Dubey let soft goals ALL the time? Well he lets one every 3 out of 4 games, hence he is not an nhl starter.

I hope he gets traded and i am afraid to say he is probably worth only a 3rd round pick.

Cujo was the same way.....stand on his head most of the game....then inexplicably let is a "cooper wobbler" from the red line.

Evgeni Nabokov's career in a nutshell, elite goalie that let in a flubber because he's a midget and relies entirely on his speed and smarts.

considering his play and ufa status, 3rd round pick is prob right. i'd consider that 3rd to be conditional 2nd if he resign with the acquiring team.

I'm just happy that most of these poopty players are on expiring contracts. We have the skill we just need Mac-T to find some good role players.

Not sure what this is a buffet eating hybrid of, but it appears to have suffered a massive stroke, effecting the right side of his face, or bells palsy, or some sort of KFC double down induced transient ischemic attack. Very frightening indeed.
