On a lesser talented team I would take Crosby to make up for talent deficiency. He's going to get more individual points and make some average line mates look better.
The Hawks are proof that Toews on a talent deep team trumps Crosby and a handful of talented players as they have won 2 cups to the Penguins 1.

Toews has a way better supporting crew, especially in defense and goal.
Since 2009 Crosby has 16 goals and 31 assists in 47 playoff games.
Since 2009 Toews has 9 goals and 20 assists in 42 playoff games.
They're not even close.
Thing with Crosby, if he's on a point-per-game pace, like in the current series against CBJ, that's considered a low bar for him.
