I agree with your basic assessment that Toews isn't all that much better than Benn, but 3 cups are 3 cups. As a franchise Dallas has one. I don't need to tell you how many we have. I personally think the Chicago Duo is overpayed, but if that team can keep righting their other wrongs it doesn't really matter.

I think it's a pretty reasonable deal for a dude who brings it almost every night. Benn has to be one of the least heralded superstars in the league. This guy is unreal.
