Keith or Kane?

[Filthy Dangles]

Which Hawk do you think has been the more valuable player in their careers to this point?

Definitely Kane. You could make the argument that he's the best Hawks player of all time, and he could still be playing for another 10 years.

This is pretty tough. Ill have to go Kane. But we dont win any of our cups without both of them (and toews).

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

Hawks fan saying Keith. Keith had his first bad year since he was a very young defenseman, and the Hawks missed the playoffs for the first time in a decade. Not a coincidence. However, the trio of Kane, Toews and Keith were all integral to their cup wins, and you could also possibly add Seabrook to that list.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

Duncan Keith had an argument for best player in the NHL between 2010 and 2015; he was almost certainly the best defenseman. Kane was never at that level outside of the 2015-2016 regular season.

Keith had 51 points in the Cup runs and Kane had 70. Given that Keith was literally one of the very best shut down defensemen in the NHL during that time frame, while Kane was a mostly one-dimensional forward, I think it's a fairly easy choice.

 

[Future GOAT]

Kane in this one for me.

 

[Machinehead]

Keith forced that team to win the Cup at gunpoint in 2015.

Definitely Kane. You could make the argument that he's the best Hawks player of all time, and he could still be playing for another 10 years.

You most certainly could not

 

[Mighty Makar]

Keith!

 

[Addison Rae]

duncan keith with little doubt

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Keith pretty comfortably. Watching him dominate every facet of the game for nearly 30 minutes a night in the playoffs at his best sure was something

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

Definitely Kane. You could make the argument that he's the best Hawks player of all time, and he could still be playing for another 10 years.

You're nuts if you think Kane is anywhere close to Hull and Mikita. Bobby Hull was probably a top 10 player in NHL history.

Kane had the best season, but I'd probably take Keith's career at this point

You could make case Kane a better Hawk...Hull better player

[Voight]

Keith had 3 Smythe worthy runs. Including an all time great one in 2015.

Bobby Hull is a top 10 player. Kane will never be.

 

[Thenameless]

Duncan Keith, but it's pretty close. Chicago really needed some of those clutch goals that Kane scored in the playoffs.

 

[COHawk]

Keith for me. I know it is not just one season we are talking about here, but it still blows my mind thinking about his performance in the 2015 playoffs. Dude was a cyborg out there.

His 31:10 average TOI, is 5th in history only behind Pronger (99 and 01), MacInnis (99), and Lidstrom (02).

Kane is more important to the franchise than Hull

Hawks fan saying Keith. No slight against Kane.

 

[tony d]

Keith. As to Kane he's a heck of a player, great reason why Chicago had a great run over the past decade. Still he's not the best Hawks player, not when you consider people like Hull, Mikita, Chelios, Pilote and Keith as well as Hall.

 

[oXo Cube]

Keith.

For me it's really not close at all honestly.

 

[WSS11]

They’re both real smooth players but Keith for me.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Kane.
