“I’m not as worried about the 5-on-5 scoring.”
You're not wrong, lol. Some are so disgruntled with Toews' performance over the last few seasons that they're grasping for straws. Hawks have only one solution, short term anyway, and that's Toews lifting his game.
I never said he’s wrong.
I’m saying you have two options:
1. Keep Toews role the same, and expect 2nd line center production. Saying “Toews needs to raise his game.” and not adding a Hossa replacement (which is damn near impossible) has gotten us nowhere in three years.
2. Change Toews’ role to be more offensively focused, and expect 60 point+ 1C production.
