Massive Bombshell Puts Jonathan Toews' Future Into Question
One of the biggest storylines of this season has been where Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane will end up. As Chicago enters a total rebuild, that included trading Alex DeBrincat and Kirby Dach.
Now, a new bombshell has been released, that indicated that Toews may not be traded at all.
"The Blackhawks are open to trading Kane and Toews, but it doesn't sound like their front office is convinced Kane and Toews will actually ask to be traded. It's one thing to put a lot of thought into being moved, it's another to ask to execute it. Time will tell, but the Blackhawks are prepared for Kane and Toews to ride out this season in Chicago. The Blackhawks aren't going to pressure them into leaving."
"There is a belief within the organization that Kane is more likely to leave than Toews. Kane will be Kane wherever he goes. Toews' identity within the Blackhawks goes beyond just what he does on the ice. He takes his role as team captain seriously, and that changes if he goes somewhere else."
It would still be surprising if Kane isn't traded, but as for Toews, who's value may not be appealing enough for the Blackhawks to move on from their captain, staying in Chi-town is a real possibility.
It will be interesting to see how this all unfolds.
