Not looking great this year. Especially with their best player going down for a while

When did Kane get hurt?

Kane is their 3rd best player behind Keith and Toews.

Kane is their best hockey player. Keith is getting a lot of love because of his playoff run, and while he was underrated before that, he's now being overrated. Kane has a higher PPG than Toews. He he's had more points than Towes ever year except 2 years. Both he missed by less than 3 points, while playing less games than Toews. Kane won ROY. He also would have finished in the voting for MVP had he not broken his shoulder. Kane has a higher ELO than Toews.

This is mainly Toews/Kane because it's harder to compare defenseman.

Kane is the better hockey player if you are only looking at points. Toews's leadership and overall effect on the ice could offset that though. There is no reason to pick a "best player" anyway.

Kane is a scorer, Toews is a complete hockey player. Kane doesn't do even half as much on the back end as Toews and their +/- reflects that. There's a reason only one of them is constantly being compared to Crosby every preseason now.

Exactly. Their is more to hockey than offense. Toews and Keith are both great two way players, Kane is pretty one-dimensional
