So Markov isn't coming back. Bergevin's hardball turns to blueballs. At least they have that Sergachev kid on D, I hear he's going to be great.

Neither can I. This off season has been a spectacular failure. SAD!
I think he's fit into that "Captain Canada" role where you have to take him for "character". He's performed pretty well in international play.Question for Canada hockey fans -- if nhl'érs were going to the olympics next year -- would you take toews??

Yeah that's the argument I tend to agree with as well -- but, with Mcdavid and crosby taking 1 and 2 Center spots -- Seguin, Bergeron, Getz, toews, Scheifele (fuck yes you take him at this point), Tavares for the remaining 3 spots (assuming they take a center as their 13th man) toews can't play wing that well -- so it would be an interesting decision
He'd have to be having an abysmal season to leave him off. He's preformed at every level for Canada, whether it be the three shootout goals in the World Juniors or the fact that he scored in both Olympic Gold Medal games he's played, first goal in each game I think. He's also one of the best two way centers in the league.Question for Canada hockey fans -- if nhl'érs were going to the olympics next year -- would you take toews??

I get that there's a lot of great young players Canada could choose from but I think you still take him.
Crosby
McGayvid
Bergeron
Seguin
Tavares
Scheifele
Monahan
Johansen
He's not better then any of those dudes.
Toews has been in a steady decline the last couple of seasons, and next year won't be any better. His time has come and gone.
Just for fun: pick your team /lines.
Hall - McDavid - Stamkos
Benn - Crosby - Seguin
Marchand - Bergeron - Scheifele
Johansen - Tavares - O'Reilly
Toews
Possibly take Carter over toews
Burns - subban
Doughty - letang
Keith - Giordano
"Peter Angelo" - Don cherry
Or Vlasic, maybe Ellis
Price
Holtby
Jones
