New Jonathan Toews Next Team Betting Odds Revealed With Unexpected Frontrunner
Jonathan Toews aims for NHL return with new betting odds revealed for his next team Image Jonathan Toews is officially eyeing an NHL comeback, according to multiple reports and the question becomes: where will the three-time Stanley Cup champion end up? Advertisement 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.

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. Advertisement 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.

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.

4 Free Agent Defenders Yzerman Has To Actually Avoid
The shiny new object is not always the best one. Free agency often gives NHL GMs a major case of FOMO – the fear of missing out on older veteran players who don't move the needle as much as they need them to. Advertisement Enter Steve Yzerman and the Detroit Red Wings. Bookmark The Hockey News Detroit Red Wings team site to stay connected to the latest news, game-day coverage, and player features. The Red Wings made some questionable signings last summer and should not repeat those mistakes this summer. This offseason should not be used to hand out favors to aging veterans, but rather to add key players who can help the team win. With that in mind, here are four unrestricted free agent defenders that Yzerman needs to steer clear of. Trending Red Wings Stories Could Jonathan Toews Become Latest Ex-Blackhawk to Jump to Detroit? Could Jonathan Toews Become Latest Ex-Blackhawk to Jump to Detroit? Acrimonious though the long history between the Detroit Red Wings and Chicago Blackhawks may be, the two rivals have a rather extensive tradition of sharing players. And not just role players either. Chris Chelios. Bob Probert. Marian Hossa. And, to the recent satisfaction of Red Wings fans and ire of Hawks supporters, Alex DeBrincat and Patrick Kane. With longtime Chicago captain Jonathan Toews now eyeing an NHL comeback after two seasons recovering from the effects of Long COVID and Chronic Immune Response Syndrome, could he be the latest former Hawk to jump across the rivalry's dividing line and up I-94 to join the Red Wings? Advertisement 3 Red Wings Prospects Ready For The Big Leagues Red Wings Coach Gets High Praise From Oilers' Star Ex-Red Wing Jake Walman Perfect Fit With New Team 3 Special Red Wings Prospects That Are Untouchable Ex-Red Wing Tomas Tatar Signs in Switzerland Ex-Red Wing Tomas Tatar Signs in Switzerland Former Detroit Red Wing Tomas Tatar has inked a two-year contract with EV Zug of the Swiss National League, seemingly signaling the end of a 14-year NHL career for the Czech scoring forward. Aaron Ekblad Yes, Aaron Ekblad is a Stanley Cup Champion. And yes, he has good two-way ability. The main concern with the Florida Panthers defender is his durability and injury history. Advertisement He hasn't played a full season over the past six seasons because of injuries. The best way a player can improve a team is by actually playing. That's not a guarantee with Ekblad. Brent Burns Brent Burns is a 40-year-old right-handed defender who has significant offensive ability. However, because of his age (and the high likelihood he stays with the Carolina Hurricanes), you can cross off Burns' name on the Yzerman free agent targets list. Cody Ceci Cody Ceci is not a bad defender. In recent years, he has been overutilized in situations for which he's not suitable. He had a busy season, first being traded by the Edmonton Oilers to the San Jose Sharks and then traded again to the Dallas Stars. Advertisement He's similar to Justin Holl in some respects (and the Red Wings don't need another Holl), so it would be best to avoid him entirely. Tony DeAngelo Tony DeAngelo is an offensive-minded defenseman who has no clear idea on how to play defense. If the Red Wings want to deploy a defender as an offensive weapon, they have a prospect who can fill the role better than DeAngelo can. These available defenders are either too old or don't move the needle in a meaningful capacity to warrant an NHL contract. They might be helpful for other teams, but they aren't the right fit for the Red Wings. Yzerman, grab your shades, these shiny objects aren't worth it. Never miss a story by adding us to your Google News favorites.

Veteran Jonathan Toews ready for NHL return with Maple Leafs reportedly in the mix
It's the NHL comeback story fans didn't know they were waiting for. Jonathan Toews — the three-time Stanley Cup champion, longtime Chicago Blackhawks captain, and one of the most respected leaders in hockey has officially signaled he's ready to return to the ice. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now After two seasons away battling health issues, Toews is back in the conversation, and yes, the Toronto Maple Leafs are reportedly one of the teams on his radar. With free agency approaching on July 1, this is suddenly a headline-grabbing moment for Leafs fans and hockey followers across the league. Jonathan Toews is back: Why the Blackhawks legend wants another shot After a decorated career in Chicago, Toews stepped away in 2023, citing struggles with Chronic Immune Response Syndrome and long COVID. It was unclear if the 36-year-old would ever lace up his skates again at the NHL level. But now, according to his agent Pat Brisson, Toews has made it clear: he's fully committed to a return for the 2025–26 season. Brisson says he will begin taking calls from interested teams as free agency opens. That's big news not just because Toews is a marquee name but because his return symbolizes an unfinished business on the ice. Why the Maple Leafs are a rumored landing spot So why is Toronto even in this conversation? For starters, the Leafs need depth. With a superstar-heavy top six, the team's bottom lines have often been where playoff series are won or lost. Adding a veteran like Toews, someone who's been in the trenches, lifted the Cup three times, and knows how to lead in high-pressure moments could be exactly the glue Toronto's locker room needs. It's also worth noting that Toews wouldn't come in as a high-scoring savior. His 2022–23 season (15 goals, 31 points) showed he's no longer at his offensive peak, but what he brings in leadership, defensive awareness, and faceoff skill is still highly valuable. Media analysts note that Toews could be the kind of low-risk, high-upside signing that pays off in the playoffs, especially for a team desperate to break through. Also read -

Jonathan Toews is planning an NHL comeback after a 2-year hiatus
Jonathan Toews has informed his longtime agent he intends to come back to the NHL after missing the past two seasons. Pat Brisson confirmed to The Associated Press on Thursday that Toews reached out to him on Wednesday to say he's 100% ready to move forward on a comeback attempt. Toews, 37, is a free agent now, and his camp can speak with any of the league's 32 teams immediately. Free agency opens July 1. A return to hockey would be a triumphant one if Toews can pull it off. Chosen one of the NHL's top 100 players from its first 100 years, the Winnipeg, Manitoba, native played 15 seasons with the Chicago Blackhawks from 2007-23 and captained them to the Stanley Cup three times as one of the faces of the franchise. Toews also helped Canada win gold at back-to-back Olympics in 2010 and '14. Toews stepped away from hockey two years ago citing the effects of Chronic Immune Response Syndrome and long COVID. His exit coincided with Chicago trading fellow star Patrick Kane and going into a full-scale rebuild. TSN first reported Toews' attempt to return.
