All team awards. Not that Toews doesn't play a huge role on the teams that won, but you simply cannot attribute these to him as personal accolades.

Messier Leadship Award
Total BS award.

5th youngest NHL captain
2nd youngest Conn Smyth winner
Youngest captain to win Conn Smythe
Youngest triple gold club member

I agree with you that he's not overrated (though in the period during which he was being compared to Crosby he sure was) but most of these are team achievements. He's a great player, but for me, not yet someone I'd consider a surefire future hall of famer.
