He's worth way way more to us than to any other team - what it would take for us to move him wouldn't be something any team would realistically give up

Honestly, I would let Snow tinker with the last 3-5 roster spots on the AHL roster and make waiver claims from other teams. He is good at dumpster diving for the most part. Let him scout the AHL and ECHL looking for players who might need a break. Even if they are just solid minor league players, who help other prospects develop, at least that is a contribution.

Toews plays with confidence like he's a five year veteran. Mature beyond his years. Very rare to have that type of defenseman. Someone mentioned him being similar to Kenny Johnnsson. I like that comparison but I think Toews has better offensive potential than Kenny. Let's just hope he continues to get better.

He looks like he's being playing NHL forever...not like a rookie.

Been a plus in 21 of his 23 games to start his career.
Nothing but praise going his way. Would like to see him add a little more offense; but he’s been fine in that dept. He’s not a liability out there whatsoever, his transition game adds a dynamic they’ve been missing.

Kid is a stud. I might be crazy for saying this, but aside from Barzal, I think he's our best asset. It's not easy to find stud d-men like this.

Him and Pulock. Pulock has been a shutdown guy all year, just needs to increase his accuracy with his shot and he’ll be an absolute stud.
i love Toews, but he is not a kid anymore. he's 24. and, he's getting 'easy' minutes right now, so IMO, i wouldn't judge him as an untouchable, just yet.
on the plus side, his defense is much better than i expected. his mistakes are minimal, his 1st pass out of the zone is very good, and of course, he is a fantastic skater. contract is obviously a steal, and hopefully LL signs him to a long, cheap, like Pelech and Mayfield.

Seeing him a lot in ahl I do think he could be a 40 point nhl defenseman, he may eventually replace Leddy on top unit. The crazy thing is Aho is better offensively I just don’t know where he fits on this team. The biggest reason this team has improved other than Trotz is the young defense have all grown leaps and bounds(Pulock, Mayfield, Toews and even Pelech has played better lately)

You must have already had your morning coffee. I see math was your best subject. You are correct. Well done . Your funny I laughed but not a lol. Not sure what a laugh in loud is? A lil ?
Mayfield, Pulock, and Toews turned this defense into something solid. Pelech on the other hand looks like he is stuck at mediocre. Boychuk is having his best season in years. Leddy is about to be replaced by Toews.

This kid is the reason why I don’t understand why they brought back Hickey. Only reason maybe is they were worried about his shoulder injury. This kid for me has more talent then Dehaan.

Sure it does. I don’t know about term but the if the Jets are considering moving Laine like some of there fans have suggested i would definitely make an attempt to acquire him.
Not yet. Unless you're dead sure that Sebastian Aho is ready to step into that role.

What you call for with Toews is the logical progression though. A chance to offload the balance of Leddy's contract sometime down the road while using our depth of D prospects to replace him.
