2024/2025 Around the League

If there's one "superstar" franchise player who I think ain't remotely worth the hype his legend is built upon, it's Jonathan Toews.

What about his former superstar teammate, Patrick Kane. Do you like him?

The fact that I don't think Toews is that great a player kinda lends itself to a further admiration of Kane's on-ice talents. One of the only times a team built a powerhouse multi-Cup winner whose best player was NOT the center.

Toews, Kane, Duncan, etc. Yeah, those teams were stacked AF (though they continually got away with no real 2C, unless you count Bolland). Not to say Toews sucked, he obviously didn't, I just don't think he's worth the hype like those other guys are. And for obvious reasons I don't think anyone on that 2010 team is worth an ounce of spit at the dentist's office.

Yeah, they could not even afford to keep the Big Buff who was like a 3rd liner in Chicago but then became a beast.

You know the Jets will forever and ever regret not going for it while they had Byfuglien in his prime.
