NHL insider Chris Johnston provided a big update in the Jonathan Toews sweepstakes, and it appears only the Jets and Avalanche remain involved. <a href='https://x.com/reporterchris' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>NHL insider Chris Johnston reports</a> that Jonathan Toews is weighing offers from two suitors: the Colorado Avalanche and his hometown Winnipeg Jets. Jonathan Toews is likely deciding between Winnipeg and Colorado. - Chris Johnston <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/nhlrumourreport/status/1934784158490104124'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> After he was out the previous two seasons with Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome and long COVID, Toews is expected to receive only a league-minimum contract with performance bonuses. Unlike longtime teammate Patrick Kane, who signed for $2.75 million with Detroit after having hip surgery, Toews hasn't laced them up since 2022 and is unlikely to receive a big payday. Still, there remains interest in the three-time Stanley Cup champion because of what he can contribute to a playoff team in a depth role. Of the two teams linked to <a href='https://www.nhl.com/player/jonathan-toews-8473604' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Toews</a>, though, Colorado looks less willing to create room for him. Charlie Coyle and Jack Drury are already slated for bottom-six center roles, and it is not clear that the Avalanche would shift Coyle to the wing just to create room for Toews. <h3>Winnipeg is seen as the better fit over Colorado</h3> <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/winnipeg-jets/nhl-insider-reveals-major-update-in-jonathan-toews-possibly-signing-with-the-winnipeg-jets' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Winnipeg, however, is a better fit</a>. Toews could be the fourth-line center to Lowry, especially if the Jets move Morgan Barron to the wing to help replace pending free agent Brandon Tanev. Barron, an accurate defensive forward with great zone-start numbers, may still work on the wing, but Toews, uniquely praised for his faceoff ability, can potentially add some offense. While Toews looks ahead to a comeback, he appears committed to one thing: chasing a future Stanley Cup in what could be his last year of play.
