Six 20 goal scorers (Kane had 30). Put 4 more 20 goal scorers on Calgary, and we'll talk.
Kane and Toewes themselves had only slightly better points that year than Gaudreau and Monahan did last year. And Johnny was a rookie and Monahan was a sophomore. It was Kane's and Toews third year each.

Yup. I think our young guys compare nicely with Chicago's core at the same age. Monahan's defensive game isn't as developed as Toews was but otherwise I think it's an apt comparison.
The difference really is depth beyond the young core, coaching, and slightly better goaltending.
