"Jonathan Toews' return to the NHL could go down as one of the most anticipated returns to the league for a long time, and as the multi-time Cup-winning champ opens a new chapter in Winnipeg, what would constitute a successful return for Toews, and how big of an impact can he really have for a cup hungry Winnipeg this season?"
"Toews spent 15 years with the Blackhawks, becoming a consistent 20-goal scorer, but more importantly, one of the greatest captains in the NHL. After leaving the game in 2023 to pursue a 'healing journey' due to ongoing COVID-19 issues, Toews began to train in Arizona with esteemed hockey coach Boris Dorozhenko back in late June of this year in pursuit of a return to the league, and after signing a one-year, $2 million deal with the Winnipeg Jets,"
Jonathan Toews signed a one-year, $2 million deal with the Winnipeg Jets after stepping away in 2023 for a healing journey related to ongoing COVID-19 issues. He spent 15 seasons with the Chicago Blackhawks, developing into a consistent 20-goal scorer and a celebrated NHL captain. Toews trained in Arizona with coach Boris Dorozhenko before pursuing the return to play. The Jets can deploy him as a second-line leader, third-line forechecker, or a power-play specialist. A solid personal season would look like roughly 20 goals or 40–50 points, combined with clear leadership impact on younger teammates and playoff readiness.
