Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane could be had, but are they worth it?
Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane share many similarities, including having played for the same team for the majority of their careers and being represented by the same agent, Pat Brisson.
However, both players are currently unavailable for different reasons. Kane is currently in the process of recovering from an injury, while Toews has decided to take a step back from the game after completing their 8-year, $10.5 million AAV contracts.
Despite their successful careers, both players have accumulated 16 years of wear and tear on their bodies, which can take a toll on even the most seasoned athletes.
Toews missed the entire 2020-2021 season due to an illness that has not been publicly disclosed, which has understandably been a cause for concern among fans. In his last game for the Chicago Blackhawks in April, Toews managed to score 1 goal and 2 assists, a testament to his skill and dedication to the sport. However, given the severity of his health issues, it was a wise decision for him to prioritize his well-being and take a break from the game.
On the other hand, Kane has been playing through his injury for the past few seasons, which is a testament to his resilience and determination.
However, it is important for him to take the necessary time to fully recover and avoid causing further damage to his body. Once he is healed, Kane will undoubtedly look to take his talents elsewhere and continue to make a significant impact on the sport.
