Was Toews 7th in Norris trophy voting last year, and Nurse has Barrie as his D partner not Makar
You can't just say he's only good because of his partner. Or is Pulock only good because of Pelech? Is Weegar only good because of Ekblad (he proved that he isn't when Ekblad was injured). Is Slavin only good because of Hamilton? Is Ellis only good because of Josi? Is Dumba only good because of Brodin? Toews was really good in New York and if you watch him you'll notice how good he is and you wouldn't say it's just because of Makar.
