The thing is I don't consider that a slight. I just pointed that out yesterday in the same way I was suggesting that Stamkos isn't the best player to build a team around. Offensive players are great, but if you can pay a guy like Toews franchise money you get more for your dollar.

Definitely elite offensive talent. I'd add that he's very underrated by some with respect to his defensive game. He comes with an elite hockey mind that allows him to read plays going both ways on the ice which allows him to steal pucks and prevent opportunities better than a lot of people assume simply because he is supremely talented on the other end of the ice.
