Chevy would be foolish not to check this out. Signing him to a PTO would be a no-lose situation for the Jets. The hard part is not knowing just where his fitness/conditioning level is & how long it would take him to get in game shape. However, even as a 4th liner, he would be a massive upgrade over all other options they have for face offs.
Sign him 900k. He can play 4th line centre or not even play that much at all. Having veteran presence/winners presence on the team is a huge boost. Hell if he is better than he ever was before in a few years throw him onto line 2. Pre-retirement toews was a top faceoff taker too. Hell if we sign him we might win the cup.
If he signs anywhere he ain't gonna sign to sit if he up to hockey ready he will sign where he is going to get ice time or he won't sign Jets could use him 3rd line at best don't underestimate his value a proven winner every level he played Jets need a presence in the room come playoffs that's when you want him and his proven record dont even neeed him to score just the leadership come playoff hockey he will prove his value (FACT)
@@DarrenPanko why replace lowry? also what do we want from a 36-39 year old bruh he aint gonna play every game he knows that. hell the other 2 teams toronto and colorado wont be playing him night in and night out. His best bet is in wpg but I want him so bad to play 4th line but he might not be fit enought to play all the time. All we have to do is remove gustafsson from the team so he gets the 4C and #19
Hard to know if you can come back from a few years off, but if he's even half of what he once was, he'd be an improvement over many of the current Jets forwards.
I couldn't agree more. If he is 80 % of what he used to be, he is worthy every little penny that the Jets would like have to pay for him. And what's more you'll get a no-BS dude who simply doesn't allow anybody else to fool around, because he himself wouldn't return to hockey just to make a few more bucks and have fun. He will only do this for real and that is being in Captain Serious mode.
There is no comparison between toews n Hendricks…toews is 5x better now than Hendricks ever was n I haven’t even seen him skate in 2 years..there is no downside… at worst you try him out n if you don’t like what you see you don’t sign him..but don’t underestimate this man he’s a winner n might surprise everyone n be a great pickup
If we do get him then that frees up 3, 4c players for trade. Gusbus namestikov and kupari. That would/could help getting a huge player like pettersson or a top 4D. Toews would help on the 2nd pp unit and would help with faceoffs. Playoff knowledge is very valuable so its a tough situation. Never mind the jets making probably 1 million dollar from jersey sales.
Trading scrap players like Gusbus & kupari & a 3rd/4th liner (don't let the fact Arniel plays him at #2 Center fool you) like Namestnikov is not going to help land any impact player much less a star like Petterson.
@@shanedogwinnipeg853 All we mean is that if we were going to do a big deal involving prospects and picks it would free us up to move a guy like Iaffallo or Appleton to Free up some cap space for a guy like petterson.
but can he still play? I'd love to see this comeback story happen, but nostalgia is not going to win us a cup. If he feels healthy, and most importantly can contribute. I would love to see him join up.
I said before the season, sign Toews, come trade deadline, trade for Kane if Detroit's not making the playoffs. The only other person I'd want is Marc Andre Fluery as backup but since they're making the playoffs, lets make a play for Quick! Imagine having Toews, Kane & Quick! P.S I never met him but went to school with him for a year, I was in grade 3 right before he went to St Mary's The school was Christine L'esperance and I hope he is at the 25th anniversary time capsule reveal
Where is this rumor even coming from? This is totally unrealistic. People underestimate how incredibly difficult it is to come back after even a few months of not playing, especially at age 36
Darren Dreger, who reported that Toews is eying Winnipeg, Toronto or Colorado. Though he most likely will not be playing this season. It would be next season, at the soonest.
If you want to monkey around with Toews on the fourth line, fine. But the elephant is still in the room. They’re not going to win a cup with the D as it is. When Samberg is back to 100%, Stanley has to be 100% gone. Period. There I said it. Nothing against the guy but he’s not cutting it.
Stanley isn't going anywhere. 1st off, Jets don't give up on 1st rounders. Second, if you dive into advance stats, it's crazy how good pionk is doing because of stanley. When opposition dumps it in the do it on Stanley side and ends up on pionk stick and we get puck possession back. They don't dump it to pionk side cuz none of their forwards are going into the corner just to wake up in the hospital. Also, who's gonna drop the gloves? Samberg? Miller? Pft not a chance. They're Big for nothing. Leave em with pionk on second pairing.
No Brainer it would also keep us from spending on a forward at deadline and can use assets aquire a dman like Sanheim,Byram,Parayko,Pulock,Savard,Anderson,Pettersson. It would make 4 lines dangerous Connor Scheifele Villardi Ehlers Namestnikov Perfetti Nino Lowry Appleton Iafallo Toews Chibrikov Extra Kupari,Barron. I been saying it for years get guys who want to play here,win and it matters to them similar how Toronto was signing,Simmonds,Thornton,Marleau,Giordano,Spezza maybe getting guys in TNSE 12 months a year being involved in community not just going home after season/overseas. Heisinger,Chevy,Keane,Roy,Flaherty are getting older having Toews take on when retires a role with team or others is important. Similar how Spezza is under Dubas maybe Toews can learn from Chevy. Baumgartner has taken job Assistant Coach with Ottawa but even that if we can create atmosphere of guys maybe Helm,Calvert,Hamonic,Zajac,and guys from Western Canada/Northern Ontario. Help them onto higher levels maybe they start with Moose organization. At this point I don't see him being as bad as Hendricks but maybe more between a Gagner/Perreault a 4th liner but if needed could play anywhere bottom 9 injuries. Help younger players even if he stayed 2yrs Lambert,Chibrikov,Lucius,Yager even Scheifele taking faceoffs learning from Toews is valuable. He doesn't have to be better then Namestnikov or Lowry just better than Kupari,Barron,Gus,Appleton.
The team still needs a 2C. Only adding Toews would not be the answer. The team needs a legit 2C, with term, that can drive the second line. Namestnikov is not it. And that's on top of the fact that Perfetti does not produce enough as second line winger. That's why if Perfetti, Pionk, Appleton, Namestnikov or Barron need to be included in a trade for 2C and blueliner, then that's what it takes.
Take a real shot for Pederson. Heinola, namistikov, lambert and barlow... Add iafallo for a salary dump Gustav and barron can do the same job for 3 mil less
Not going to lie it would be nice. But not going to lie. Im not sure if i would want to do this trade because hes most likely still very hockey smart but his body might be a different sorry. Plus, if hes on the second line. Look at how Sean moahnahan turned out. He was good and smart but he could keep up with ehlers. Its probably going to be the same with toews. Specially, with his age. But thats just my thoughts. Go jets go.
@@pomerlain8924 how much of a tax credit did he get on that. He could have donated a million to homeless shelters instead of one singular community centre that then put his name in the rafters and on the outside like he cured cancer. I get it it’s in his hood where he grew up, but that not Winnipeg, that’s his own personal neighbourhood, and it a great thing but let’s not say all he’s done for Winnipeg, let’s say the great thing he’s done for his community instead.
@@lled23 I don’t have to map I see it often in person. When did one singular community center in St Vital become a representative of the city of Winnipeg? That community center was already there it just got fancier. Where’s the donations or activism for the whole city of WPG not just his old stomping ground that only a very very small portion of that community actually uses ? At the kind of money he was making he needed a very good tax break and there it is. Don’t get me wrong I think Toews is a good person and a great player, and I’d love to see him in the Jets but the narrator is virtue signalling, my problem with this and I’m a long time follower of the account , is he’s over selling the importance of one pro athlete or celebrity from Wpg.
He doesn't fit our roster. We have great leadership in our dressing room already and also a very deep line up as far as forwards. If he was Patrik Kane than absolutely!!!!
Our line-up is not deep on effective forwards. Just look at how the scoring disappears if the top line isn't going. The depth people speak of for this team is a myth. What they have is plug and play, where they just insert the next available player to plug a hole, even if that player is not suited for role. The team needs a lot more than just Toews. He is, however, a leader and he knows what it takes to win. The leadership in the current dressing room does not respond well to adversity at all. They look great when everything is perfect, but when things aren't going right, they don't find a way to respond and win.
I think all 32 teams would be interested in him, would love to have him in that dressing room come playoff time
Would be amazing to see Jonathan Taves, the hometown hero help Winnipeg win the cup
He and Buff sign
@@justinb4712Buff is like 100lbs overweight now lol. He doesn't care about hockey anymore. He's an outdoorsman now

Jonathan Toews deserves to play for his hometown team. Go Jets! 🛫
he lost that when he chose not to. Go Jets Go No Toews No! (maybe for under 2 million in a bottom 6 role)
I think JT, as a depth forward, is just what we could use. GO JETS GO!
It depends, Go Jets Go!!!
Hard to know if you can come back from a few years off, but if he's even half of what he once was, he'd be an improvement over many of the current Jets forwards.
He could be a great fit for the 4th line. They need something to get going.
I certainly hope so!

I agree, especially with Chibrikov playing this well it could free up Chevy to trade a guy like Iaffallo or Appleton.

But 4th line should be fine. Definitely not for the 2c.

Is he gonna play on the 4th line?
He’d probably still help the second with the right mindset
even if he doesnt play that presence on practices and his aura will boost team morale. I would pay him 1.5 mil just to be a winnipeg jet.
Take a real shot for Pederson. Heinola, namistikov, lambert and barlow... Add iafallo for a salary dump Gustav and barron can do the same job for 3 mil less
As long as he is signed for at least 5 years don't need him to walk after 1 season

good thing its a signing not a trade! Also, 2nd line right away for toews???
What exactly has he done for Winnipeg other than being from here? No disrespect to his playing career he was an awesome player.
Donated 1M to his what I believe was his childhood community centre/rink here in Winnipeg
The Foundation he set-up in Winnipeg. He's never forgotten where he came from.

Calm down jets fans
Hes past his prime. The only thing is maybe he would be a good passer. But thats aboout it.
Sadly there is always a few naysayers and babies crying.. give the dude a shot Winnipeg, he may surprise you all. Trade Stanley...
He should come to San Jose sharks and win the Stanley Cup this year 😀
His age is up and his production is down. I would like to have the Toews from 8 years or more ago. I'll pass.
I don't think Toews will be in shape to to be coming back for this season. Realistically, it's looking to be next season.
100% not happening
Winnipeg is a dump
Don't want him or need him
He doesn't fit our roster. We have great leadership in our dressing room already and also a very deep line up as far as forwards. If he was Patrik Kane than absolutely!!!!
Kane would do zero for us, our problem already is too many small wingers. I give this comment two thumbs down.
