With the NHL regular season rapidly approaching, Winnipeg Jets fans have been looking outside of the box for potential options to help bolster the team.
Ken Wiebe, a prominent Winnipeg Jets insider has recently made comments about Jonathan Toews making a story book return to the city of Winnipeg.
Has there been any update on Jonathan Toews' status this year? I don't think he has officially retired, and for many reasons he could be interesting to Jets fans if he was healthy. Just a thought no one has talked about. - Michael
Wiebe: If the former Chicago Blackhawks captain was fully healthy and capable of playing in the NHL, an update most likely would have been provided.
At this point, Toews has made no public comments on his future. Toews in his prime was one of the best players this province has ever produced and there's no doubt he would provide a perfect complement as the 2C beyond Scheifele.
He's a proven winner that hates to lose, he's defensively responsible, strong in the faceoff circle and makes players around him better. There's been no indication that Toews is working on a comeback since he announced last season that he was taking a step back. A return to his hometown team would make for a storybook ending to an incredible career, but at this point, it seems highly unlikely a return to the NHL is on the table.
Although former Chicago Blackhawks Jonathan Toews has made no public statements regarding an NHL come back, fans can only assume the Winnipeg Jets would be a strong consideration for the veteran.
