Plus, even if they are only 80%, their cap hits won't be 80% of the Chicago duo (more like 60-70%). We will pretty much be able to pay the same for JG, Money and Bennett combined that Chi pays for just Kane and Toews combined. That is going to be huge going forward assuming BT gives the 3 young stars long term deals. In that scenario, I'd rather have our three than Chicago's two (assuming all three keep improving to the point where they are lite versions of Chicago guys).
