mcdavid and tavares can put up 90 points for any team in the league, including the blackhawks; that's why they make $10m. toews cannot. that doesn't make him a bad guy or a bad player or responsible for the team's decline, but it does make him . . . complementary. he's a good defender, but mikko koivu doesn't make $10m either. it's not his fault he's overpaid -- he won three cups! but at the risk of getting all flacco, toews is just an above-average two-way center, not the new messier he was being heralded as a couple years ago.

also lol we made you defend a blackhawk
