Someone please explain to me exactly what Toews has done to make him 1 of the 100 best players in the history of the NHL? He has 1 Conn Smythe to his name and that's it, he was the only player I can recall making the list that didn't have multiple major individual awards. He's 35th among active players in scoring and his .862pts/gm is 16th among active players. Quite frankly, Malkin has a far superior resume and if you're looking at players individually and not taking into account team success, Girouxx, Tavares, Backstrom and Stamkos all have resumes that are about as good as the Almighty King of Leadership. If I sat here long enough I could probably come up with 100 players that were more deserving than Toews. It's absolutely amazing how the league just swings from the nuts of a slightly above average player like they do with Toews.

Two Rings, Two Art Ross, Hart, Conn Smythe, Calder, Lindsay, and 3 first team All Star. That's real leadership.

Its all about championships. He has them. Im sorry but the stanley cup casts a huge shadow over any individual awards. Mario would give back his entire trophy room for one more cup as a player. Besidesits just a photo calm down.

Malkin not making the top 100 is ridiculous

You don't have to be a rival to know that guy is one of the 100 best players to ever play. Some people really overthought that one and it's a shame

stanley cup is a team award. it should't be the biggest judge of who the best PLAYERS are. keep that as best TEAMS. if you have toews, kane, hossa, keith, seabrock, byfuglien, Ladd and Crawford all on the same team in 2010, same players - ladd and byfuglien + saad in 2013 and same players in 2015. you SHOULD franking win.

Yeah he was wearing the C though, some people over value the C but at the same time a lot of people put not value on it. At the end of the day more of the non hockey/watch hockey when football season is over crowd know his name, that's primarily why hes there.
