Oilers Reportedly in Talks With Jonathan Toews Regarding His Arrival in Edmonton

Recent reports suggest that the Edmonton Oilers have had discussions with Jonathan Toews, fueling speculation about a potential reunion. As the 2023 unrestricted free agent market approaches, teams are seeking valuable players to bolster their depth and scoring options.

Toews, considered one of the top 50 available free agents, could provide the Oilers with a chance at another Stanley Cup run. With Nick Bjugstad's potential departure from the team, Toews could be an attractive addition to their roster.

However, concerns about Toews' health may impact contract negotiations, potentially resulting in an offer around $1.15 million for a one-year deal. Despite this, his veteran leadership and scoring ability would be valuable assets off the bench.

In the previous season, Toews played 53 games and contributed 15 goals and 16 assists, totaling 31 points. With a first-round pick background and three-time Stanley Cup champion experience with the Chicago Blackhawks, Toews would bring a wealth of expertise to any team fortunate enough to acquire his services.
