They say that about Toews.

Bergeron might be the most underrated player in the league.
For me it's Keith, mainly because I think the team would suffer most if he were removed. Toews and Keith have each other and some other great forwards to help carry the load. Seabrook and Hjarma would be a very solid 1/2 for almost any team, but I think the Hawks are a lot less likely to win a cup w/o Keith than if they missed Toews or Kane.
IMO There is no way Keith is not a top 5 D-man in the league. You might be able to make an argument to take one of the guys from the third tier ahead of him, but not two.
