12. Jonathan Toews

From the hockey-rich city of Winnipeg, Jonathan Toews was the third overall pick in the 2006 NHL Draft, and he proceeded to finish third in Calder Trophy voting, where he lost to his teammate Patrick Kane, which certainly gave notice to the city of Chicago that they had a special team ahead of them.

Along with Kane, Toews led a youth movement, showcasing one of the most balanced skill sets the Blackhawks had ever seen.  With a very healthy Point Per Game Average (.86 as of this writing), Toews showed off incredible defensive skills, where he was the winner of the Frank J. Selke Trophy (2013) and was in the top five in voting five other times.  In terms of other individual accolades, the Centre was also a Second Team All-Star (2013) and has been in the top ten in Hart Trophy voting four times.

Where Toews has also shone is in the playoffs.  Toews is already a three-time Stanley Cup Champion, and in their first win (2010), he led the playoffs in assists and won the Conn Smythe Award.  As it stands now, Toews' run in Chicago ended with 883 Points, three Cups, two prestigious single awards, and three top ten Hart Trophy finishes.
