With Duncan Keith likely to be suspended and maybe even some playoff games, my buddy and I were discussing how much the Hawks will miss him. Personally, I think Keith is the most or second most valuable player on the team. I have Kane and Keith in a virtual tie for first with Toews in third. Just wondering what others opinions are.

Yes, I know Toews has won at every level & was the best player on the Canadian Olympic team in 2010. But is he still the MVP on the Hawks?

Kane, Keith and Toews all have a Conn Smythe but Toews is the only skater in NHL history to win a Conn Smythe trophy while being a minus player in 2010. He was also 5th in goal scoring on his own team that playoff year behind Hossa, Kane, Bolland & Sharp.

I don't think Toew's "intangibles" are enough to close the gap on Kane's offensive superiority.
