BREAKING: A decision has been reached regarding Jonathan Toews; The Captain issued a worrisome statement
After a lengthy saga, sources are finally saying that Jonathan Toews will not be traded prior to the NHL trade deadline.
This comes after an illness that has sidelined him since January 28th, and a mutual decision between the two parties that a trade wouldn't be logical at this time.
Breaking: Sources say #Blackhawks� captain Jonathan Toews will not be moved prior to the #NHL trade deadline.
I'm told Toews and Chicago made a joint decision as he needs more time to recover from his latest illness. He hasn't played since Jan. 28.
Most importantly for Toews, there does not appear to be any major long-term health concerns and it's possible Toews could return to the lineup in March.
But out of fairness to other teams, Toews felt his body was not cooperating to compete at a high level right now.
Jonathan Toews released this statement:
This doesn't mean Toews will never be traded, but the Blackhawks captain will be sticking around for a bit longer than anticipated.
