Leafs.

The Canucks of all teams would probably welcome him, they need more character guys and he'd quiet a lot of noise in the room, they're sorely needing some true veterans.

Playoff experience, proven winner, more center depth are all things Tocchet and Allvin like, there's a reason they looked at adding Kessel last year late in the season.

This is all assuming he can still play hockey.

I think Edmonton would be pretty high on his list considering team status and their depth chart. They need to upgrade on Derek Ryan with a guy that aces faceoffs, kills penalties and doesn't get buried by third and fourth line matchups.

That being said, it's tough coming back after two seasons off.

It was reported not too long that some teams were checking up on him but they didn't mention names. A quick Google search and Servalli mentioned the Jets. Patrick Kane said hopefully Blackhawks.

There is no shortage of rumours surrounding the Toronto Maple Leafs and the latest one comes from Frank Seravalli. about Jonathan Toews.

In a recent appearance on Sport on Prime Canada, Seravalli discussed the possible return of former Chicago Blackhawks’ captain Jonathan Toews to the Toronto Maple Leafs. Toews has been out of the game since 2023 after playing in 53 games for the Blackhawks.

He will start on the Marlies and then we will go from there.

Good to have Cptn Serious back.

Wouldn't he go through waivers at this point? I thought you had till like the end of December to sign people where they don't have to go through waivers.

He really shouldn't do this. Unless his stamina improved dramatically, he has a really hard time keeping up with the play the last half of his shift.

He really shouldn't do this. Unless his stamina improved dramatically, he has a really hard time keeping up with the play the last half of his shift.

His interviews reported having chronic inflammatory response syndrome. As someone going through something similar, at a similar age, I can say it takes everything out of you without doing anything. Let alone being active. I can't imagine how difficult it would've been for him to physically or mentally stay in playing condition. If he's really gotten through it, then he probably feels like a new man.

Sign with Colorado please. Two Toews are more stable then one.

I’m skeptical that he’s healthy enough to return, but I’m rooting for him
