Former Chicago Blackhawk Jonathan Toews' Potential Retirement Date Set Revealed
As the Chicago Blackhawks gear up for the upcoming NHL draft, their main focus remains on selecting their next franchise center. However, the biggest offseason storyline revolves around the future of their former captain, Jonathan Toews. Speculation about his potential return has intensified with the imminent arrival of promising talent Connor Bedard.
According to The Athletic's Scott Powers, Toews is expected to make an announcement in the coming weeks regarding retirement or the possibility of joining another team in free agency. Toews, 35, took a leave of absence prior to the 2020-2021 season due to Chronic Immune Response Syndrome and battled the effects of long COVID, leading to his absence from games during the 2022-23 season.
If Toews decides to retire, it would mark the end of a remarkable career that includes three Stanley Cup championships and numerous accolades. However, his captaincy has been marred by controversy stemming from a sexual assault scandal during the team's 2010 championship run. With his eight-year, $84 million contract extension expiring, Toews could attract interest from teams seeking experienced middle-six players if he decides to extend his career.
