The three-time Stanley Cup Champion with the Chicago Blackhawks, Jonathan Toews is looking to make a return to hockey. The reports came as Toews is coming back after battling a number of ailments including long COVID and Chronic Immune Response Syndrome.

The leader is Toews’ hometown of Winnipeg, Manitoba where he can play for a legitimate cup contender as well as be close to his family. One of the surprising names towards the top is the Red Wings, with the seventh-best odds at +1900, making them an intriguing option with one storyline in mind.
Chicago’s dynasty in the 2010s was highlighted by the dynamic duo of Toews and Patrick Kane. The duo hasn’t played together since 2023 when Kane was dealt to the New York Rangers. A reunion would instantly become one of the league’s most compelling storylines and could give the Red Wings a dependable second-line centre option.
It’s been noted by several NHL insiders this off-season that the second line centre position will be one that many teams are looking to fill.
The Red Wings are one of these teams in need with Marco Kasper and J.T. Compher being their only current options. Adding a player of Toews’ caliber would be massive and would likely add some line chemistry by placing him with Kane once again.

Detroit has just $23.1 million in cap space heading into the off-season, which means they’ll potentially have a chance to land the longtime Blackhawks captain However, they could be outbid, as the Red Wings will likely need to prioritize their spending elsewhere such as re-signing Kane before exploring other free-agent additions.
Kane remaining with the team could help entice Toews to join Detroit, offering him the chance to reunite with a familiar face while becoming part of a team trending toward playoff contention.
