Good for him. Crappy way to end things.

Free agent centre Jonathan Toews is 100 per cent committed to coming back to the NHL next season, according to TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun.
LeBrun says Toews reached out to his agent Pat Brisson yesterday to inform him he is ready for an NHL comeback. He adds that Brisson will start taking calls from NHL teams on Toews leading up to July 1.
TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger notes that Toews is expected to have a "long list" of suitors, but notes the Winnipeg Jets will be front and centre when the time comes. He notes the Jets pursued pending unrestricted free agent Brock Nelson ahead of the trade deadline, before he ultimately chose to go to Colorado and Toews could now fill the team's search for a second-line centre.

The 37-year-old is attempting a return to the NHL after he announced he was stepping away from the game when his contract with the Chicago Blackhawks expired after the 2022-23 campaign.
The 6-foot-2 centre recorded 15 goals and 31 points in 53 games with the Blackhawks during the 2022-23 campaign and was trying to recover from the effects of long COVID and chronic immune response syndrome.
