Is Jonathan Toews about to make a comeback with his hometown team?
Jonathan Toews' legacy in the game of hockey is cemented thanks to his three Stanley Cup championships with the Chicago Blackhawks.
However, he hasn't played for a couple of years and fans have missed him dearly. As it stands, it is unclear whether or not Toews is actually retired. Having said that, it should come as no surprise that fans of teams like the Winnipeg Jets are remaining optimistic for a miracle.
In a report from The Free Press, Jets reporter Ken Wiebe was asked if Toews could be an option for the Jets. As you will read, he is not so sure that it is a real possibility given the fact that Toews has given to indication he would like to make a comeback.
"Has there been any update on Jonathan Toews' status this year? I don't think he has officially retired, and for many reasons he could be interesting to Jets fans if he was healthy. Just a thought no one has talked about. - Michael
Wiebe: If the former Chicago Blackhawks captain was fully healthy and capable of playing in the NHL, an update most likely would have been provided.
At this point, Toews has made no public comments on his future. Toews in his prime was one of the best players this province has ever produced and there's no doubt he would provide a perfect complement as the 2C beyond Scheifele"
