So here's my Logic on Toews getting nothing after CHI RS 50%
Hanzal off IR got Traded just to go back on IR for i think a 1st,2nd and a 3rd round pick
Plekanec got a 2nd and the players we flipped for Kulak during Plekky's worst historic season and last full season
What did both have the 9/10 Centers dont ?
55% Win Rate ability on a consistent basis.
People forget how rare that is and how a Matt Cullen in his decline
changed his game to focus exclusively on that in his later years (winning 2 more SC)
These guys allow other Skiled Centers who suck at Faceoffs more OZ time like Cullen did for Malkin or Carter did for Kopitar(until JC his Faceoffs were as weak as KK)
Point is Toews gets a very very late 1st package or a couple 2nd's package if you Retain Salary on one of these guys.
Without RS then year he's worth a 3rd or maybe even a 3rd/5th package but thats it in the Cap Era
