Jonathan Toews' Teammate Exposes Why He Is No Longer a Blackhawk

Fans of the Chicago Blackhawks were both surprised and unsurprised by the news that Jonathan Toews would not be returning to the team. With the team entering a multi-year rebuilding phase, many players have been considering their options. Initial reports suggested that Toews had made the decision not to return, but a report by Mark Lazerus from The Athletic revealed that Toews had actually informed his teammates that the Blackhawks would not be re-signing him.

The conversation with teammate MacKenzie Entwistle was said to be informal, with no official announcement made.

The Blackhawks will now need to look to their younger players to step up and fill the void left by Toews' departure. Fans can keep up with the latest news on the team's official website.
