The funny thing is for me I've never seen Toews as that true elite scoring talent. He's generally not a PPG scorer, though that may speak to the depth of the Blackhawks. He is without doubt elite in terms of being a complete player and absolutely someone you want to build around. So I'm less worried about picking the highest offensive upside if there is a more complete player available.
I don't have an opinion specifically on Lindholm vs Monahan, I just hope we don't end up with Wayne Primeau 2.0
