The possibility of Jonathan Toews retiring has been a topic of discussion among the Chicago Blackhawks fanbase. While it is uncertain if he will retire, if he does, it would be a significant loss for the team. However, it is important to acknowledge Toews' achievements and legacy with the Blackhawks.

Toews has played in 1,060 games, earning 880 points and 137 playoff games with 114 points. He has won three Stanley Cups, a Conn Smythe, a Selke Trophy, and an NCAA Championship. He was also named to the All-Rookie team in the 2007-08 season, a four-time All-Star, and won two WJC Golds, two Olympic Golds, and a World Cup Gold.

Toews is also the youngest and longest-tenured captain in Blackhawks history. His leadership on and off the ice has been instrumental in the team's success over the years. If Toews decides to retire, the Blackhawks fanbase will not be disappointed in him, as he has left an indelible mark on the organization and the city of Chicago.

Regardless of what happens in the future this summer, it's definitely on my mind that this could be my last few weeks here in Chicago as a Blackhawk.

I feel like I have much more to give with my experience. But when day after day is just you're just pushing through pain. It's just like, to what end?
