Fedorov never got his own billboard. Towes may not have had him at defense or offense but billboards he was at another level
That's not Toews; that's Tyler Kennedy.

Jonathan Toews is easily the most complete player since expansion, arguably the most complete player of all time.

By expansion you mean the one 15 years ago when Minnesota and Columbus got their teams, right? And when you say "of all time" you assume the world didn't exist prior to the 1990s and all the history books lie, correct?

Yah but I meant based on my limited viewing it's a pretty clear answer. Not my fault if I'm younger than everyone in this thread.

Everything was beautiful, and nothing hurt
Yeah, Clarke won multiple Hart trophies over Bobby freaking Orr for his ankle-breaking abilities. Not to sidetrack the thread (Fedorov over Towes all day), but Clarke is definitely up there as one of the greatest two-way forwards in the history of the sport. Clarke put up historic seasons where other teams pretty much never scored against the Flyers when he was out on the ice.

If you haven't viewed Fedorov in his prime, then you're not really qualified to give an answer, are you?

Well like I said, it was an opinion based on my limited viewing. I never claimed to have seen both or said my answer will be the deciding factor of this thread.

"since expansion"
Since when does "since expansion" mean the last 6 weeks?

fun fact: as an old goat datsyuk still puts up better ppg than toews ever has.

Must be twice the player toews will ever be then.

Wouldn't be anointing toews as better. We would be comparing toews in his prime to the professor in his thirties.

Sorry, where does Toews fit again?
That's right, on the 4th line, with Datsyuk.
He'd supplant Cleary, or Maltby.

Yes, the OP premise is completely absurd, but that's no reason to toss absurdity right back.

Clearly you are misremembering history. The Russian line was an 90s line. Since you've mentioned Datsyuk on the 4th line, that means you are talking about the 2001-02 team, a team without Kozlov.
Toews fits nicely into the top 6 in this group. As the poster above me has touched on, trying to match absurdity with absurdity is ignorant. Don't be foolish, Toews isn't a 4th line player even on this great Detroit team, although you made a good effort in mixing different Wings teams from the 90's and 2000's together to help make your case.
