“I honestly do think that chapter is closed. I have respect for what Kyle and the organization are doing. They decided a few years ago to move in a different direction, and I’m all for that. I don’t think that’s a fit for me anymore.” This is what the former Chicago Blackhawks captain had said as he called it a day with the team with which he had won three Stanley Cups. But while that particular chapter is over for Toews, he has no intention of calling it quits on his NHL career. Not yet.
Naturally, that has stirred the pot of rumors and anticipation. In the latest rumour, it is said that the 36-year-old would land in the Detroit Red Wings, and Detroit fans are all for welcoming the (former) Blackhawks star, who is currently an unrestricted free agent. Fans have said, “LMAO. That would be awesome. I ain’t gonna lie. I’m here for Debrincat, Kane, and Toews line in a winged wheel.”
While another fan said, “I say bring him in. We are missing Rasmussen and Copp down the middle. He could be a 3 C if it doesn’t work. Then what’s the loss? We are already on a losing streak. And his experience could help the younger guys.” The Detroit Red Wings have lost five games in a row since their win against the Minnesota Wild.
Another fan said, “Let’s do it. Why not? One year. There is a lot of cap space. Make it so. Maybe it will make the last month of Detroit’s season interesting.” And complementary to all, one fan also added, “This is all upside for Detroit. If it doesn’t pan out, then he’s scratched. Detroit has no reason not to do this.” And in another comment, a fan couldn’t hold him back to being in the GM’s shoes and say, “I would take the risk for the rest of the season. There wouldn’t be much risk. If he can’t play, he will get scratched or even put into LTIR as long as it’s not a multi-year contract.”
