He’s been bathing in raw lion placenta
Jonathan Toews will not play next season but is not retiring (Updated: Agent says looking to return next season)

He was in India undergoing some kind of physical and mental/spiritual treatment right?
I mean surely he'd get a PTO from someone right?

A team could do no wrong by signing him to a minimum, salary deal. if it doesn't work out, you waive him and either bury him or agree to terminate his contract.
I think he'll get that vs a PTO. There's no risk for teams.
As much as I'd like for him to spend his entire career in a. Blackhawks jersey, he'd be a great bottom six addition for any contender or team looking to get over the hump.

I could see him going to Montreal, imagine him with Hutson's mentorship.
I can't even remember what his health issues were...

The Canucks already tried the captain replacement thing via big name free agent with Messier. It did not work out, at all.

I suspect he comes back as a 3rd line centre, struggles in the regular season, but is an impact player in the playoffs.
Cause Messier was an egotistical jackass being led by an even bigger egotistical jackass in Mike Keenan.
Perhaps they were intangible

This is an honest question... why wouldn't Chicago want him? Sign him for a one year deal, have him around to help teach the kids how to play, if he ends up being ok then maybe sign him to a multi-year deal after, also for cheap. Even if he's bad, he's probably still going to be at least ok defensively, would probably help keep the goals against down. And it's not like they have anyone better he'll be taking ice time from.
I honestly don't get why Chicago hasn't done this already

From my perspective (which is likely wrong), the only reason the Hawks don’t want Toews is because of Davidson’s ego trying to make this turn of the franchise completely fresh. Say what you want about Toews, but his leadership and experience would be invaluable for Bedard. Hawks would be dumb to not pursue him

I mean the pasteurized stuff is just full of tangibles.

Feel like he would be an excellent fit with Carolina, he gets to return to a contender and they gain a solid 3/4C with ample playoff experience
Devils or Blues could also be solid matches outside of the obvious Jets connection

He’s still a little young for Pittsburgh.

I'll be surprised if that's where he'll sign. Most North Americans don't seem to want to play where they're from.
Being a prophet in your hometown, and all that.
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.
