LeBrun: Jonathan Toews "100 percent committed to coming back"

[Trafalgar Sadge Law]

My guess is it'll be between Edmonton (Bowman) Winnipeg (hometown) and Chicago. Probably moreso the former two if he's willing to accept a 3C 4C role.

 

[Schennanigans]

Could be a good fit as a depth piece for a contender. Similar to Perry on Edmonton.

 

[Smirnov2Chistov]

Why did he leave? Long COVID?

 

[bobbyb2009]

Would you really want this dirtbag around young players with his character issues?

3 pretty nasty comments. Care to elaborate without getting any of us or the thread in trouble? You just don't like him or is it something concrete?

The guy was a gamer. Hated him playing against my team but had loads of respect for his game

 

[Draiskull]

Perry replacement in Edmonton.

He could also be a middle 6 C in Edmonton with McD-Drai playing on the same line.

HIs open defence of Bowman combined with his own misconduct as captain of the Hawks. Should have been banned for life along with Bowman and Quenneville.

lucky for Oilers we got no young players.

Wowzers. Seems like a really harsh perspective and judgement, but of course, we are all free to feel however we feel. Cheers

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

Pens gonna grab him and Marchand. Then Dubas will finally have finished his Infinity Gauntlet of 2010's NHL stars

 

[jackjohnson]

Sounds like Toews is almost definitely coming back
Where is he going - hometown Winnipeg 2C? Any interest back in Chicago?

Nice of Toews coming back to coach in NHL but am not sure about his coaching experience

 

[Roshi]

As much as I dont think they should, but i still wouldnt be shocked if Caps was one of the teams checking in.

They have 3C spot to fill and they’ve done these moves before with Lundqvist, Chara, Kovalchuk etc. PTO to battle for the 3C spot with Lapierre makes actually some sense…

He could then show his cool collection of healing stones for Chychrun and they’d be buddies right away.

 

[atlanticobserver]

Feels like when a 5 star high school quarterback says they're 100% committed to LSU and end up going to Bama like a month later. But best of luck to Toews

Nothing against the Caps, but did you not see how old and slow they looked against Carolina? Your move would be to add a 37 year old who has been in India for the past couple of years "finding himself?"

Probably will be. 3-4C

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Jets or Oilers would be call. Oilers don't need him but the StanBo probably wants him.

Oilers actually could use him. We’re using Janmark as our 4th C. Having Toews, Henrique and promoting Philp actually solidifies our bottom 6C depth.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

The intangibles alone would put the Leafs over the top.

 

[Canovin]

McDavid-Drai-Toews-Henrique

Id hope he loses the spot to Lapierre.

Caps have youth coming up. Answer will be the injection of Leonard, Mironischenko, Hutson, Cristall, Protas jr, Parascak, etc. within the next 2-3 years.

Wont hurt to have some veterans in the mix while injecting all the young guys gradually.

But yes, Toews isnt the guy. Just said i wouldnt be shocked if Caps gave Brisson a call to hear whats up.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

He should pick a bad small market team that isn't going to grill him on the past and also give him the best opportunity for ice time. Nashville might be a good spot for him. I don't see a playoff team doing anything but a PTO for him.

 

[JediOrderPizza]

He wants to come back to win the cup, not miss the playoffs

I've already thought of that, he can be buddy buddy with Dcat and Kane. If it works out we will ship him to whatever team at the deadline.

Love it when that happens

 

[eojsmada]

Toews to the Jets unless someone offers him a crazy deal

 

[Coffee]

I can see him going to Oilers even if @CokenoPepsi says no

 

[Andre Palot]

This just screams Tom Fitzgerald
