In a recent poll conducted by ESPN.com's Craig Custance, a handful of NHL executives, coaches, and players were asked to rank their top-5 franchise players in the league by point value.
No. 1 on that list? Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews.
“He puts my franchise on the map,†one executive told ESPN.com (subscription required). “On a scale of 1 to 10 for his skill, he’s probably a seven. His skating is a six. But his compete is a 10. His hockey sense is a 10. His defensive play is a 10. His character is a 10. His will is a 10. He’ll do things franchise-wise not only to make the guys on the ice better, but to make the team better.â€
Toews voted NHL's top franchise player by peers
Toews must be doing something right to be regarded so highly by his peers and NHL exec and coaches
