All the grit the Hawks have is on their 3rd line. Everything else they have is skill + determination + Toews.
I would say that Toews is a pretty gritty player as well as a highly skilled one. Ditto with Sharp. Versteeg, Brouwer, and Ladd all spent time in the top-6, and they're pretty gritty with some skill.
