I'd much rather build around a Toews than a Kane, and that's not taking Kane's attitude into account, I'm just talking about the skillsets of each player.
Toews has 3 inches on MacKinnon though, which can be a difference maker for a centre (better reach, less likely to get a shoulder to the head, more physically imposing). Granted, MacKinnon may still grow, but that is not a guarantee.

When I think of MacKinnon, I keep coming back to Langkow, but with a little better speed.
