Jonathan Toews

Jonathan Toews has captained a three-time Chicago Blackhawks Stanley Cup team. Toews is one of the best, if not the best well-rounded center in the game. Especially after a few Selke Trophies. If you had Jack Hughes learn to be more defensive minded on a two-way game because of Nico Hischier, you can make Jack Hughes an absolute monster. If you thought Toews’ stick handling was lethal during regulation hockey, but in overtime and a shootout expect to see Hughes lighting up the lamp. Toews and Hughes are very mature, very calm, and provide their respective teams with positive energy day in and out.

Over a 12-season career, Toews has 755 points during that time. That would mean Hughes would need to score 62 points or more a season to be like Jonathan Toews statistically. However back to that 87-point average for a minimal of 12 seasons Jack Hughes beats Jonathan Toews out of the water. With the team that’s around Jack Hughes don’t be surprised to see him win a minimal of one Stanley Cup or more because the playoff window is beginning to open up very soon.
