Jonathan Toews makes his true feelings known on the Chicago Blackhawks organization prior to NHL return

The Blackhawks let the Jonathan Toews era of the franchise end in 2023, but he wants to make an NHL comeback and prove Chicago's GM Kyle Davidson wrong.

The Chicago Blackhawks organization has had multiple historic players pass through in recent years, but two notable departures: forwards Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews.

With Toews confirming his injuries are healed after a long "journey" in India, he wants to make his NHL return.

In an interview with The Athletic, (h/t NHL.com), Toews says he's attempting a comeback, but could it be with the Blackhawks?

Toews feels that this chapter in his life is closed for good.

"I honestly do think that chapter is closed,' he said. "I respect what Kyle and the organization is doing. They decided a few years ago to move in a different direction and I'm all for that. ... I don't think that's a fit for me anymore. I want to go somewhere and have a chance to be myself and play the game. I know my best hockey's going to come through that way, instead of trying to be in that role where I'm still living with the pressure of our Cup-winning days. That era's over."
