I suppose it depends on your metrics in order to determine 'better player,' but if someone asked who I'd want on the Flames tomorrow my answer would be Toews.

For one thing, if you want a player that brings "more to the table", Kopitar, and maybe even Bergeron (especially if you count cap hits) are better options than Toews.
And for another, Crosby isn't just a floater that puts up a bunch of points. I don't know where that reputation came from, but he's very competent defensively, while being WAY ahead of the competition offensively. At least he usually is, last year was an off year.
This really shouldn't even be a discussion.
