Jonathan Toews' Teammate Reveals That The Blackhawks Decided Not to Re-Sign Him

The news of Jonathan Toews not returning to the Chicago Blackhawks left fans both surprised and unsurprised. Given the team's multi-year rebuilding phase, many players have not been keen on staying.

While it was initially thought that Toews had decided not to return, a report by Mark Lazerus from The Athletic revealed that Toews had informed his teammates that the Blackhawks would not be re-signing him. The conversation between Toews and his teammate MacKenzie Entwistle was said to be casual, with no formal announcement made.

The Blackhawks will now have to rely on their younger players to step up and fill the void left by Toews' departure. Blackhawks fans can stay up to date with the latest news on the team's official website.
