No, they were solid top six guys that could play on a teams top line if needed. If you're anything more than a good middle six guy, you're no longer a role player to me.

But yea, this is all a semantics argument.

Hossa, and Saad for that matter, are role players to me. There's a spectrum for sure but if a player can't carry his line then he's not a star IMHO.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Hossa in his prime absolutely was a star. Guy had a 92 and 100 point season.

Hossa was a star but there seems to me that there needs to be a description between star and role player. Saad is below a star but above a role player. At least with what I think of when I hear the words

 

[Pez68]

Role players are your above average, bottom half guys... Guys that contribute in a small, but very important way.

If we assume Kane finally wakes up, this team has $23M in cap hit in what are now role players - Toews, Seabrook and Saad.

Yes, I said Saad. His very disappointing season is being lost in all of the Toews/Kane/Keith/Seabrook talk.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Underwhelming Kane is still nearly a PPG player

So even at his worst he is still contributing to team far more then captain invisible and others

We heard you the first 400 times.
