Aleksander Barkov vs Jonathan Toews

Who is the better player? Consider everything. Peak, prime, etc. Chose this comparison because at 28 (Barkov's current age) it was the last season that Toews was anywhere close to being a selke finalist, and it marked the end of his "prime" if you will. Here's how they compare. Barkov Career...

Guess mods can decide if it needs to be merged.

Barkov quite easily.

Barkov. Was able to win against McDavid without a Kane and Keith.

He finished tied in points with Tkachuk and one point more than Verhaege. Bobrovsky was excellent. That D core shut McDavid down very well also.

Barkov was phenomenal but he didn’t do it alone.

Recency bias will ensure Barkov wins, but prime Toews was at the very least equal if not slightly better.

The 2024 Panthers were not exactly ‘Alexander Barkov and his merry band of stumblebums’. Barkov had a great team around him as well.

Toews in 2010 is better than any version of Barkov I've seen. Coming here for a partial opinion on these 2 guys would be like going to a Starbucks for a debate on gender roles. Toews is prob bottom 5 hated player OAT on HF and Barkov has a cult following. Toews was Canada's best player in that Olympics, that whole year, at such a young age was impressive.

They’re pretty close. Barkov’s tools can be flashier at times, but I don’t know if he’s actually more effective. Despite the blowback from his media lovefest, prime Toews was really damn good.

He had the best defensive team with Bob behind him. Toews had more star players but Florida is a machine too.

Toews is one of the most overrated players of all time.
