Value of: Jonathan Toews w/ no salary retention

[Space umpire]

If he’s even movable they would retain the full half

Only if other possibly fruitful trades needed retention aren’t going to happen.
There is talk involving several hawks. Toews has very little value.

This would be a offseason move if it ever even happens.

Since Chicago is starting to rebuild I’m wondering what the price will be for Jonathan Toews with no salary retention.

How many 1sts are Chicago adding?

 

[Kegs]

He is not moveable with his cap hit. No contender has 10 million in cap space

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

Negative

He's not that good and now the entire world knows he is a hall of fame asshole

He's an asshole for not stopping something completely out of his control at age 22?

 

[Beerfish]

Just put a call into Ken Holland, problem solved.

 

[Harvey Birdman]

what I’m saying is what team out there can

1 take on full salary
2 he won’t block going there because it’s a playoff team.

many of the teams with cap space likely won’t have it next year

As I said in a previous post. I can’t imagine a way he is traded without retention. I believe it to be a nonstarter in getting him moved. Add in his NMC and it’s damn near an impossibility. He’s most likely a Hawk till next years deadline would be my guess.

There's no contender that can afford Jonathan Toews full $10,500,000 cap hit, He'd need to be traded to a bottom feeder to absorb the full $10,500,000 cap hit.

 

[PostBradMalone]

Double retention would make him attractive but that’s about it. I would still welcome him on the Oilers to play in the 3C spot and hope he and Keith can turn back the clock come playoff time. Wouldn’t trade a ton for the privilege though.

 

[Larry Hanson]

I think he could be traded to the Seattle Kraken which is where I see him going with no retention on Chicago's end. Would be a good leader if Giordano is traded, but the other thing too is Toews wants to win. But also, doubt he waives unless it's a contender or Winnipeg, or a team does it if they take on his whole contract.

Say Seattle, I'd imagine a 2nd comes with him and going to Chicago would likely be Mason Appleton or Ryan Donato. Or maybe a 1-for-1 of Toews for Grubauer.

No contender can afford him even at 50% retention. If he wants to win his best bet is to go to a bottom team, have a decent year and then get traded to a contender at the deadline. Would still require retention though, maybe even double retention.

 

[Space umpire]

You missed the part where Team C gives up an asset for Toews @ 25%. So unless you think that asset is worse than what it would take for Melnyk to save some pennies.. then your reply has no logic behind it.

Chicago “gives up decent prospect”
Chicago gets “whatever team C wants to give up for Toews”

 

[Kelevra]

Zary and Monahan for Toews

 

[pth2]

I think his value would be limited, and Chicago would have to accept taking a contract in return. Maybe one for a lesser AAV but for more years, etc.

 

[Oddbob]

He’s that bad or is it the contrac?

Contract is brutal and he is pretty bad now. 50 games played, 24 pts at 10.5 per. Even at 5.25 per that is a lot for a player who will likely only get worse.

 

[David Bruce Banner]

OEL could be available.

 

[Billdo]

With no salary retention the Blackhawks would have to give a first and probably more to move a 3C on the back end of his career making 10+ mil.

 

[zar]

yikes, no one will take him @ full salary

As an Oiler fan.... all I can say is; thank God Ken Holland does not have the cap space.

 

[jetsforever]

I'd be interested in bringing him home but definitely not at full cap hit.

 

[Pertti]

Toews is still NHL player but he is worth about 1-2M $/season.

 

[RebuildinVan]

Cant be traded at all with no retention

 

[nuxnuxnux]

Arizona island him

 

[KevinRedkey]

Chicago “gives up decent prospect”
Chicago gets “whatever team C wants to give up for Toews”

And?

 

[BlueBaron]

Tough times in Chicago. Kane is the guy everyone will want, Toew can lead the rebuild.

You need a scenario where someone thinks he's the final piece which are hard circumstances to imagine.

 

[Space umpire]

And?

And Chicago doesn’t need to do that.
The insinuation is clearly Chicago gets the lesser prospect than they give. They are not in a cap crunch and won’t be in the playoff mix.
There is no reason to move an asset to get rid of him.
If a team WANTS him they can get him @50% retained for a 5th round pick but the Hawks are better served just waiting out the year than they are giving an asset to move him.

 

[Heldig]

Chicago is not adding to move him. He has a year left at a cap hit that doesn’t hurt them.

Yes but Toews cap hit is hurtful to more than half the teams in the league, including the Jets. Chicago is either paying to dump it or eating 50%.
