Jonathan Toews will not play next season but is not retiring (Updated: Agent says looking to return next season)

[nhlfan9191]

He’s almost surely washed. I wish him luck but it’s unlikely we see him get beyond a PTO.

That being said, I hope he proves me wrong. Lots of teams could use a proven winner and leader in their room. I could see a team like the Ducks being a darkhorse contender to give him a shot.

I doubt a player like that wants to go threw the PTO process. He’ll likely get a contract off of reputation and he’ll either sink or swim.

COL needs a 2c, why not.

COL needs a 2c, why not.

As a Blackhawk fan I really hope it works for him (just not in Chicago) but I’m thinking more 3rd line C … even 4th. Hopefully for him he’s still got his face off skills.

It's not typically good for your game to take several years off in your mid thirties and go sit in a cave in the himilayas eating psychedelic bird poop. I think his foot speed will be, let's say, limiting.

He’s 37 and has missed more than two seasons. I’d be surprised if he’s anything more than a 4th liner now - if at all NHL material.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

He should just stayed “retired” or whatever he is.

 

[Nona Di Giuseppe]

when i was 22 i was aware of right and wrong and morality...playing the child card is weak man

he knew, he was the captain, he did nothing.

these are not debatable.

these are facts.

No, they are not. You need reading comprehension.

Exactly, I can't see his return to the NHL actually panning out here.

Im sure also, but weve watched Landeskog do it from serious injury. Toews has been dealing with fake vaccine side effects.

Get his ass in the gym and if he's 70% of what he was on a bad 2020+ blackhawks teams recently, he can handle a 3C assignment.

Ok, but therefore his vision will be off the charts.

This has avalanche for $1m written all over it.

 

[Dotter]

Id rather Lidstrom lace them up and come back to the drws. I think he'd make a bigger impact.

Toews is DONE! He's looking to cash in for a quick buck knowing full well he ain't playing.

 

[Fatass]

Where does he live mostly? He’s from Winnipeg. Maybe he wants to play there? Does he live in Chicago? Maybe he would be a great mentor for Bedard?

Landeskog is 5 years younger and isn't really a good comparable I just hope that Jonathan doesn't embarrass himself and what team will he be trying out for?

I know he sold his condo here like a year ago. No idea where he went.

Maybe just Scottsdale now.

thats because you are just a superior person to Toews. hes bad, you're good, etc

 

[T REX]

I'd love to post the Jackie Redmond bit about Toews here but I'll let folks make their own determination if they want to hear what she said about Toews...it ain't pretty. She hammers him pretty hard. It's on Youtube and I have posted it on HF more than once because it is so compelling.

I hope the Bolts stay away from this mess. No thank you. Hope he flops.

Pretty sure everyone has witnessed some kind of injustice and failed to take action at some point in their lives. You're reaching here bud.

All he did is prove himself to be too loyal and too trusting in his superiors to a fault. If that’s the worst thing one can say about a person and if you want to crucify him for it, it tells me more about you and your morals than his. (Not ‘you’ specially)

He probably wants to go to a contender tbh, so unlikely.

I'll let Jackie speak to you...ENJOY and thanks for giving me the go ahead to post it for all to see.
Edit: You know NOTHING of my morals or character. I'd recommend staying away from the personal stuff, Bud.

 

[Crow]

I already watched it.

Also I said not you specifically. More like any person. I wouldn’t comment about you specifically based on a presumption, like this reporter did to Toews after he made some comments about his own experience with some people.

Conspiratarded horseshit.
