With his contract set to expire on July 1st, several teams are looking to add depth and scoring options to their rosters by signing valuable players.
Toews, a Stanley Cup-winning veteran, ranks among the top 50 unrestricted free agents in the 2023 class. Rumors suggest that the Oilers may consider revisiting Toews for a chance to pursue another championship title. If Nick Bjugstad departs the team, Toews could be a valuable addition as a depth option.
Considering his health concerns, it is likely that Toews may only receive a value contract in the range of $1.15 million for one year.
Despite this, his presence would bring veteran leadership and a strong scoring option off the bench. In the previous season, Toews played 53 games, recording 15 goals and 16 assists for a total of 31 points. With his impressive track record as a first-round pick and three-time Stanley Cup champion with the Chicago Blackhawks, Toews would undoubtedly contribute a wealth of experience to any team fortunate enough to sign him.
