I don't disagree with that. Seabrook is probably the one guy they should've walked away from.
Toews is a different story. I don't watch a ton of Blackhawks games, I just read their fans bitch on the internet, but I'm surprised to see how consistent Toews' production has actually been over his career.
The only season under 50 points in his career is the lockout-shortened one, and he's got 48 in 47 there. Otherwise, he's a 55-65 point 200 ft centre who plays in all situations, and captained the team to three cups.
I don't see the 'decline' or a reason to really bash the guy. Did people really think he was going to sign for $10.5M and then improve upon his career best offensive numbers? The Hawks may have trouble winning with those two players making $21M, but Chicago wouldn't have a chance of winning anything with Kane alone.
