Jonathan Toews has helped the Chicago Blackhawks to three Stanley Cups during the 2010s. If the Blackhawks didn’t draft Toews in 2006, there’s no telling how well they would have done during the 2010s.
As we know now, the Blackhawks draft Patrick Kane in 2007 with the first overall pick. At the time, there were three different players that were rumored to go number one. Just like the year prior, Chicago made the correct decision with their draft choice.
With the redraft, the NHL had the Blues taking Toews at one, the Penguins taking Claude Giroux at two, and the Blackhawks taking Nicklas Backstrom.
