Toews always played a very huge and positive role in the Blackhawks success, but recently fighting his injuries as well as his attitude towards the organization picking up- he has been a ghost.
With the captains attitude and ignorance picking up- and his play declining massively, it's a easy assumption with his hefty $10.5 MILLION per season contract he won't be apart of this rebuild.
He as well thinks so:
Toews's defensive stats have absolutely fell off, as shown in this chart.
Question asked to Toews:
Do you still like being captain and the responsibilities that come with it?
«There's no doubt some days you want it easy and you want to just say, 'Screw it,' and focus on your own thing. It's just a lot lighter and a lot less responsibility in some ways, but at the same time, I've been given so much for my teammates and the organization and the fans, and everyone's given me so much credit over the years for our success just because I have a C on my sweater, so I think when you're in that position, a lot of responsibility comes with it but you're given quite a bit as well, so I think that's the way I look at it and it's all part of the learning process and you can't shy away from that.»
