In the 2010s, the Chicago Blackhawks were the toast of the NHL, capturing three Stanley Cups in six seasons and cementing their status as a modern dynasty. At the core of the team's success was a rare convergence of talent between Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane.
The Blackhawks selected Toews, a defensively sound, two-way center, at No. 3 overall in the 2006 NHL Draft. They drafted Kane, a dynamic and highly skilled winger, with the first overall pick a year later. They went on to become one of hockey's great duos – each talented in their own right, but undeniably better together.
