Words hurt.I’d rather pay Toews 7.25 to play for us than Suter 7.3 to not play for us.
no it won'tAvs need Toews, but his next contract will cripple them as he is deserving of 9M. This will be interesting.
Toews would be a #1 on a lot of teams including the FlamesI wouldn't call it absurd, its a very good deal though. 1M more than Weegar who is essential the same defenseman. At the end of the day Toews is still a #2, an elite #2 but still a #2. The first 4 years of the deal should be good before we see amy noticeable fall off.
Out of curiosity, why not post current cards of both?Do you live under a rock? Toews is a bit better than Weegar but not by much

Toews JFresh card is posted earlier on this page for comparison. Playing with Makar boosts his stats too, Toews is still very good but he wouldn't put up nearly as good offensive numbers playing with someone as talented as Heiskanen for example
He thinks Weegar is on the same level as Toews lol . Not even closeHe was voted 16th best D in the league few months ago on this site
Not on Canucks, we have Hughes who is a top 5 to 10 dmanWhat a steal for a top 20 dman in the NHL. The guy is a #1D on at least 20 NHL teams.
Ask JFreshOut of curiosity, why not post current cards of both?
You genuinely think Toews pushes Andersson of the 1st powerplay unit? Again Weegar is a better overall defenseman than Andersson because he is more well rounded, but Andersson is still the #1.Toews would be a #1 on a lot of teams including the Flames
Not to pile on but I always thought it was unusual how Toews was such a darkhorse, coming from nowhere to be a great young defenseman and the team that knew him best just gave him up.
He’s largely a product of Makar making him one of the most overrated D men in the league imo
Haha I know you’re a Flames homer, but Toews is much better than Andersson and Weegar!Ask JFresh

Not on the RangersWhat a steal for a top 20 dman in the NHL. The guy is a #1D on at least 20 NHL teams.
Over the last 3 seasons, Toews' on-ice results without Makar are pretty much exactly the same as Makar's without Toews.He’s largely a product of Makar making him one of the most overrated D men in the league imo
Karlsson, Seider and Pesce?! Really?!Not on Canucks, we have Hughes who is a top 5 to 10 dman
Makar
Fox
Heiskenan
Hedman
Hughes
McAvoy
Josi
Dahlin
Pietrangelo
Karlsson
Seider
Pesce
I take those 12 plus some others over Toews. So he would not be number 1 on 20 teams. Maybe 15 or less
Seriously…what an awful list!Karlsson, Seider and Pesce?! Really?!
