BREAKING: Edmonton Oilers Set to Pursue Chicago Blackhawks 3x Cup Champion
In a surprising move, the Chicago Blackhawks have announced that Jonathan Toews will not be returning to the team next season, regardless of his decision to retire or continue playing.
Rumors suggest that the Edmonton Oilers could be interested in signing Toews as their fourth-line center, according to Sportsnet's Mark Spector.
This move would allow Derek Ryan to shift to right wing. While Toews' health issues may influence his future, he could bring valuable contributions to the Oilers' bottom six.
Toews had a productive season in 2022-23 with 15 goals and 31 points in 53 games. Only time will tell if Toews dons an Oilers jersey this year.
