Also, Zadorov out, and Toews in. I don't see where creaming over Sakic is warranted here, but ok.

I would argue that because Toews played for the Islanders, he's very underrated. The guy is a stud:

In his two years in the league, his relative stats are as follows:
(Left = 2018-19, Right = 2019-20)
CF%: 6.35/5.06
FF%: 6.22/4.73
SF%: 6.79/4.80
SCF%: 4.89/6.41
HDCF%: 6.36/5.36
xGF%: 8.53/5.12
That's on top of ranking as a top pair/middle-pair with his offensive rates. At the very least, Toews is an elite #3 D-man.
Again, the guy is a stud.
