After stepping away from the game due to long COVID and Chronic Immune Response Syndrome, the former Blackhawks captain announced he's ready to return and sportsbooks like FanDuel have already released odds on his potential destination.
Before stepping away from hockey, Toews played 53 games during the 2022–23 season, tallying 15 goals and 16 assists for 31 points. His faceoff percentage remained strong at 63.1%, and he continued to be relied upon in defensive situations.
With Toews expressing interest in winning another Cup, speculation has swirled around contenders and potential fits, from his hometown Winnipeg Jets to reunion possibilities with former coaches. Now, bettors can get in on the action and wager on where 'Captain Serious' might suit up next.

More NHL: 2026 Stanley Cup Odds: Oilers, Panthers Lead Early Contenders But One Unexpected Favourite Emerges
Top Contenders in Toews Sweepstakes:
Winnipeg Jets (+210)
Toews returning to Winnipeg would be a storybook homecoming and could be the final piece for a Jets team poised to contend. The Jets dominated the 2024–25 regular season with a league-best 56–22–4 record, earning the Presidents' Trophy.
Kyle Connor led the charge with 97 points, while Connor Hellebuyck secured his second straight Vezina Trophy with elite goaltending. But with captain Adam Lowry sidelined for 5–6 months after hip surgery, the Jets could use Toews' leadership and experience down the middle. If Toews is chasing one more Stanley Cup, few teams offer a better shot than Winnipeg.
Anaheim Ducks (+2200)
This is a long shot on paper, but offers one of the most intriguing storylines. Anaheim just hired Joel Quenneville, Toews' coach during Chicago's dynasty run, as their new head coach.

The Ducks are rebuilding, but a veteran like Toews could help mentor young players while giving Quenneville a familiar leader to help establish a new culture in Anaheim. We even outlined this possibility in a previous article about how Toews could fit in Anaheim's system and at +2200 odds, this bet could be a steal.
Colorado Avalanche (+470)
Colorado remains a perennial Cup contender, and Toews would add playoff-tested depth to a core led by Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar. He wouldn't need to carry the load but could play a crucial shutdown role in key matchups. He'd be joining a roster that already knows how to win.

Toronto Maple Leafs (+300)
It's always a circus in Toronto, but the Leafs remain a team on the cusp. Adding Toews could help tilt the balance, especially given their need for reliable two-way forwards in the postseason.

Plus, the spotlight would make for a high-profile final act to his career and further solidify his legend status by ending the Maple Leafs' Cup Curse.
Vegas Golden Knights (+650)
Vegas never shies away from veteran additions and already proved it can win with a deep, physical roster. With some cap gymnastics, Toews could be the next puzzle piece in another deep playoff run.
Edmonton Oilers (+1100)
If Edmonton doesn't capture the 2025 Stanley Cup, look for them to be aggressive in free agency. Toews could fill a similar role as Corey Perry, who's provided veteran leadership and grit as well as playoff IQ that very few have.

Toews joining the back-to-back Western Conference Champions would give him one of the best chances to chase a ring alongside Connor McDavid.

Brad Marchand with a Shorthanded Goal vs. Edmonton Oilers
The Stars And The Hurricanes Can't Squander What They've Achieved When Trying To Take The Next Step Even before the Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers start the 2025 Stanley Cup final on Wednesday, they've already appeared in more post-season games than any other team in the league since the NHL went back to its regular playoff format in the 2021-22 season.

Stanley Cup Final 2025 Game 2 live updates: Panthers lead Oilers 4-3 at end of second period
Follow live updates from Game 2 of the 2025 Stanley Cup Final as Edmonton looks to grab a 2-0 series lead over Florida Getty Images Game 2 of the 2025 Stanley Cup Final is underway, with the Oilers looking to double their advantage after beating the Panthers in overtime in the series opener. Follow along as our reporters on the ground in Edmonton and team of NHL experts across the continent have you covered with the latest insight and analysis. Connections: Sports Edition Spot the pattern. Connect the terms Find the hidden link between sports terms P2 10:29 - Panthers 3, Oilers 3 The Oilers need to weather this Panthers onslaught. Florida loves scoring goals in the second period. They've piled up goals in succession during these playoffs in the second frame. Can Edmonton withstand the Florida pressure unscathed? Getty Images Former Oiler Dmitry Kulikov ties the game with a shot from the point. Matthew Tkachuk gets bumped into Stuart Skinner. The Oilers opt not to challenge. Tie game. It's 3-3. P2 12:01 - Oilers 3, Panthers 3 Dmitry Kulikov silences the crowd. He fires a shot through traffic, which Stuart Skinner couldn't see. The Oilers get burned for an extended shift from Connor McDavid, Evan Bouchard and Mattias Ekholm. The Florida Panthers tie the game again. Getty Images That save by Bobrovsky on Evan Bouchard was sensational to keep the Panthers deficit at only one. It was yet another great play by Connor McDavid to set that chance up, but Bobrovsky's lateral movement is second to none. I'm shocked at how easily the Oilers have generated rush offense over the first half of this game. The Panthers' gaps in the neutral zone haven't been good, and the result is tons of open ice for Edmonton's skilled skaters to utilize. This game could be out of hand already if not for Bobrovsky. Getty Images P2 14:28 - Oilers 3, Panthers 2 It looks like the referees are letting the players play in this period. Sam Bennett gets cross-checked but the referee doesn't call a penalty on Edmonton. Dmitry Kulikov fires a snap shot from the point which Stuart Skinner gobbles up. Edmonton still leads by one. P2 15:37 - Oilers 3, Panthers 2 It's an onslaught of Panthers pressure in the offensive zone. They've been in the attacking zone for over a minute and Stuart Skinner makes two critical saves on Sam Reinhart and Aleksander Barkov. Massive for Edmonton to escape that without giving up a goal. Getty Images P2 18:04 - Oilers 3, Panthers Oh my Sergei Bobrovsky! Connor McDavid finds Evan Bouchard, who delivers a blast that the Panthers goalie needs to dive across the crease to save. Bouchard has three shots on six attempts tonight, including a goal. What a scoring chance. Getty Images P2 19:10 - Oilers 3, Panthers 2 The Oilers are able to kill the Florida power play to start the period. As Evan Bouchard comes out of the box, he gets the puck for an odd-man rush. The Edmonton defenseman fires a shot on target but Sergei Bobrovsky makes the save before a scrum ensues following the whistle. The intensity continues in this second period. P2 20:00 - Oilers 3, Panthers 2 The second period is underway from Edmonton. Florida starts on the power play for 41 seconds. Getty Images Evan Bouchard added another secondary helper on the McDavid-to-Draisaitl jaw-dropping tally, his third point of the game. He's now up to 79 points in his playoff career, tying him with teammate Ryan Nugent-Hopkins for ninth on the franchise's all-time list. With that first-period goal in his 71st playoff game, Evan Bouchard has matched Colorado Avalanche star Cale Makar as the fastest active defenseman to 20 career playoff goals. Only six other defensemen have reached 20 goals that quickly in NHL history: Paul Coffey (48 games played) Brian Leetch (49) Bobby Orr (50) Denis Potvin (52) Al MacInnis (70) Paul Reinhart (70) Reinhart, of course, is the father of Panthers forward Sam Reinhart. Rob H.: Another great game, but Panthers need to keep it from turning into a track meet. Another great game, but Panthers need to keep it from turning into a track meet. Brennan L.: This is awesome. The intensity and skill is insane. This is awesome. The intensity and skill is insane. Brandon W.: Imagine cheering for this Panthers team. Imagine cheering for this Panthers team. Brian F.: Edmonton just absolutely on fire. Can't even pretend. Edmonton just absolutely on fire. Can't even pretend. Victor E.: Keep up the parade to the penalty box Florida.

Imagn Images Evan Bouchard got another playoff goal in the first period tonight. Per Sportsnet stats, Bouchard is the class of the NHL for playoff goals by a defenseman since 2022. Below are his playoff goals by type and where that ranks among the league (you'll notice a pattern). Total: 20 (1st) 20 (1st) Power play: 8 (1st) 8 (1st) Even strength: 12 (1st) 12 (1st) Game winning: 6 (1st) 6 (1st) Game-tying or go-ahead: 10 (1st) Imagn Images With his 10th goal in the 2025 NHL playoffs (and third in this Stanley Cup Final already), Leon Draisaitl has become the third player in NHL history to score 10-plus goals in three consecutive postseasons. He joins Mike Bossy (in four straight playoffs from 1980-1983) and fellow Oiler Wayne Gretzky (three straight from 1983-1985). Imagn Images Shots: Shot attempts: Hits: Faceoffs won: Power play: Penalty minutes: Blocked shots: Imagn Images Connor McDavid has recorded his 33rd career multi-assist playoff game, and did so in dramatic fashion with a beautiful pass through traffic to Leon Draisaitl for the Oilers' third goal of the first period. McDavid is now alone in third place all-time in terms of multi-assist playoff games, behind Wayne Gretzky (72) and Mark Messier (40). His performance tonight broke a tie with Sidney Crosby, Doug Gilmour and Ray Bourque (all with 32). Imagn Images For a second straight game to begin the Final, Sam Bennett has set a new record. His 12th road goal of these playoffs is a new NHL record, surpassing Mark Scheifele's total of 11 in 2018. Getty Images That's as wild an opening period in the Stanley Cup final that I can remember in all the years covering this. Everything was happening. Imagn Images P1 0:00 - Oilers 3, Panthers 2 What a first period to Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final! Five goals and seven power plays later and the Oilers lead by one over the Panthers. Stuart Skinner makes a critical save on Aleksander Barkov to end the frame. Florida will have some power play left to start the second.

Opinions can vary on Garrett Wilson and what he "deserves.'' But "deserves'' isn't always how this works. The market sets itself, and the Jets know this.
Opinions can vary on Garrett Wilson and what he "deserves.'' But "deserves'' isn't always how this works. The market sets itself, and the Jets know this. originally appeared on Athlon Sports. We know that the New York Jets' contract extension talks with receiver Garrett Wilson are underway, with suggestions that this might be a slow roll on the way toward training camp. Advertisement And we also know that corner Sauce Gardner and edge rusher Jermaine Johnson are also due to join Wilson in wanting to get paid, meaning new general manager Darren Mougey figures to be a busy man. And what about Wilson's numbers? We have our educated guesses. And others have their uneducated ones. Example? The Jets receiver is the subject of shockingly bad contract prediction from quarterback-turned-analyst Kurt Benkert. "I think that Garrett Wilson could very easily get a four-year, $96 million contract," Benkert said. Wait. What? Let's do some math here. Wilson, whose fifth-year option will cost New York $16.8 million, is likely to view himself as a superstar - or, at least, a budding one. The going rate for such a player isn't a number that hovers above $20 mil; that's about $10 million shy. Advertisement Wilson, 24, despite shaky QB play, has become a 1,000-yard perennial. ESPN's Ben Solak has even predicted that in 2025 Wilson will lead the NFL in receiving yards. Opinions can vary on Wilson and what he "deserves.'' But "deserves'' isn't always how this works. The market sets itself. There are now nine NFL receivers who make over $29 million per year. The next wave of great receivers will be chasing a number like that. Not everybody in the media might see it. But we bet the Jets do.
