Erik Johnson (or Shattenkirk/Chris Stewart) AND Paul Stasny were as good as Keith and Sharp who were the best players when Toews and kane showed up.
when do Duschene and O'Rielly and Landeskog actually turn the Av's into a winner? They are all getting paid like Kane and Toews were AFTER they carried the team to a Stanley cup win.
I sure hope we don't sign Baertschi to a 5.5M 7 year deal if he gets 40 pts this coming season.

When Kane and Toews resigned the cap was lower than it is now(59.3) and they make 6.3. If you turn the cap number into a percent you will see that Landeskog and Duchene are making much less. Then if you look at Toews and Kane as they played out their deal and the cap went up they eventually added depth back and won another cup. They both will be making 8 soon
