Toews on the PK blocking point shots, a real captain
Maybe the next time the Canucks get 3rd overall they might have a chance at a player like Toews. Although with hindsight being 20/20, he should/would have gone 1st.

I remember that draft clearly, its not even hindsight 20/20... blues and pens drafted position that needed to be filled and not the best player available.

Erik Johnson was the consensus #1 prospect.
CSS, ISS, TSN, The Hockey News, and Red Line Report all had Erik Johnson ranked #1.
#2 was the pick that was kind of up in the air between Toews, Kessel, Staal, and Backstrom.
Were it not for some stupidity on the golf course with his friends early in his career, Erik Johnson could very well be a top defenseman in the league.

Do you understand hindsight being 20/20? You're saying at the time, they didn't choose him for that reason.
Whether or not Toews would have been a round peg in a square hole at the time, any team would be stupid to not draft him #1 if they had a time machine and an opportunity for a redo.

The rumour is that Johnson and his friends were playing polo with golf carts (supposedly drunk) and his golf cart ended up rolling over, crushing his leg and destroying his ACL in the process.
This was in September 2008, shortly before training camp. Johnson was coming off an impressive rookie season in which he produced 33 points.
It's always interesting to see who the captain passes the cup to first - Kimmo Timonen in this case.
But nobody can beat Sakic's action of letting Bourque hoist the cup first.

You know that's what pretty much happened. Kimmo has been in the league for 16 years and has never one a cup either. He has three second place finishes I believe in the Olympics and his only other finals appearance was with Philly when they lost to the Hawks.
So Toews just like Sakic gave the cup to the person who's been craving it for 16 years.
