Coming back after a couple years off at 37 to win his 4th cup, and first cup ever for his hometown team would put him into some rarified air

This. Also, he was so clutch in big moments. Whether it was at NHL level (3 cups, winning a Conn Smythe), or international level (best forward at the 2010 olympics in Vancouver, or even those 3 shootout goals at the world juniors when he was younger). He just always thrived in the biggest spotlights. It’s exactly what you want on your team.
When we think of the Panthers with Tckachuk and Marchand for example, Toews may not have as much of the nasty side in his game, so-to-speak, but that killer instinct to score in the big moment under pressure is 100% there. Regardless of the reality that he may not be what he was several years ago (and really who knows), I think it’s a player you want rostered for sure.
Time will tell if the Jets can make it happen!

There is definitely an aspect of legacy building here. The home town kid comes out of semi retirement to put the team over the hump.
He'd likely have the local business community lined up for endorsements as well.
He has three cups and don't see any other way he could potentially top his career other then doing it at home.
Chevy also has a bucket of cap space and can afford a more lucrative one year deal then pretty much any other contender if it came to that.
I think Chevy will try to sign Toews in the $ 1.5 million dollar range, with added performance bonuses.
I think this would be a smart thing to do, as this team needs depth scoring, and leadership, which I believe he can bring.
His Nik name at Chicago given by the players was Captain Serious - in other words, no fooling around, and we’re here to win.
I think Chevy should sign him, and it will also make a statement to the league, that “ big name” players do sign in Winnipeg.
I think he’d bring to the Jets, what Perry brings to the Oilers, and we need that badly. Sign him

Things must be *really* bad if Tuch wants to leave.
Where else would he go if he had his pick?
His wife has strong ties to the Vancouver area…
Wonder if Jeannot goes to FA if we could entice him into the fold. He's the kind of bottom 6 type player we need. Mean, plays on the edge, hits everything in sight. Add him and Toews this offseason. Walk away from Apples/Tanev. Move Schenn and Stanley. Sign Ehlers/Vilardi/Samberg/Barron/Kupari/Fleury.
Would just need to add a decent depth Dman that can maybe play into the lineup. Fabbro is out there.

Toews would probably bring 5x that back in revenues. I think it would be huge for the organization even if he doesn't contribute much. Perry still brings a fair bit to the table as far as ability.....I'm not expecting that much from Toews. The main issue is whether a team can afford to give up that roster spot. If he can come in and play 15 minutes and win some d zone faceoffs, then I'd be happy.I think Chevy will try to sign Toews in the $ 1.5 million dollar range, with added performance bonuses.

Yeah, he's a marketing dream for the org. He'd sell a bucket load of jerseys and tickets.
I will always remember what Tampa paid for Jeannot a few years back at the deadline. I was shocked and didn’t understand it lol.
I was just telling my wife I’d instantly buy a jersey if he signed (I don’t care if he’s not 2C calibre anymore lol). I can only imagine the jerseys flying off the shelves.
Massive overpay for sure but he's the type of player that teams are going after hard these days.

Yeah, he's a fourth line grinder these days. If that is all you expect with physciality then fine.

I have to say if at 37 he has gotten his health problems taken care of and he doesn't fall down on every shift then roll the dice.
At the very least I expect a Corry Perry type depth impact. That is still well worth bringing him in.

Plus Toews isn't a POS
Yup. He wouldn't upset the applecart leadership/personality wise and has a lot to offer with his pedigree and experience.
Would be a good add for players to be around a guy who knows what it takes to win at the biggest of stages.
Let's hope he checks out medically.
100% there were reports of the bullying and I absolute believe them. Sopel stated he believed everyone had to know - Toews said he didn’t know until next training camp. And when he found out Brad(perv coach) was let go etc so thought it was handled.
The part that I don’t like is assuming or stating as fact how someone showed up. That’s unreasonable or gross to me. But the whole situation is gross.
Post would be reasonable and I’d agree with it if just simply stating Toews was on the team in 2010 during the beach incident and that gives me hesitancy as it’s unclear what Toews knew or didn’t and how he showed up.
Toews and Kane both had some tone deaf comments after the fact as well which I didn’t love. Regardless we have no idea how Toews was involved in the situation. Theres a lot of speculation - some of it quite reasonable. Let’s just not state things as fact, imo.

Especially in the playoffs, and lot of warts can be hidden on a good team if you are good within 10 feet... Perry and Toews both arrive frequently, and are outstanding in that area of the net.
It seems like a great fit and risk reward given our situation. Just not sure he doesn't opt for Edmonton or Chicago or Anaheim or whoever instead despite the Jets courting him.
I can't see him going to a rebuilding team. Most other contending teams are in cap hell so it will be difficult for them to land him.

I keep thinking if Calgary holds on to that last playoff spot we might be in the cup now
The Blues series just wore us out. To be frank both teams would have been pulp in the 2nd round. It was a stupid series that was way too physical and it killed us. Watching the Oilers coast through this and play in some easy series hasn't been easy. Like I said, I think Dallas was shit. I just don't think we could score and battle through the injuries we had during the Blues series.
I am not really what they need to do in the off season. Maybe give a young guy a chance. Maybe sign Toews. 2nd line center is a problem. A one/two punch of Scheif/someone that can do 60 points. I am not sure if Ehlers returns either.

Toews definitely worthy of a PTO. Even then, I'm thinking he'd go to the AHL and eventually just retire.

I more so think if Helle could have had a few even 'okay' games on the road we could be in the cup right now.
There are way too many teams interested for a PTO to get it done. Your going to have to give him a couple million plus some bonuses to get it done.
