I was listening to the Wings game last night on the radio. The Wings were on their way to losing to the Black Hawks. Paul Woods, former Wing and now radio broadcaster, was commenting on the value of Jonathan Toews. He recognized that Toews numbers are down and that he's getting paid a lot of money. But Woods stated, "If I was building a playoff team and got to pick a player, I'd be hard-pressed not to pick Toews." He then went on to list the players he'd pick if a gun was put to his head:
Patrice Bergeron
Sid Crosby
Ryan Getzlaf
Anze Kopitar
Jonathan Toews
Mr. Woods is showing some bias for older players and guys who are responsible at both ends of the ice. I'm OLD, so I understand his mindset. :-)
Which 3 to 5 players would be on your list?
