National Hockey League Free Agency does not officially start until Canada Day on July 1. However, on Friday, there was a very intriguing free agent signing as the Winnipeg Jets came to terms on a new deal with veteran forward Jonathan Toews of Winnipeg, Manitoba. Toews has not played in the NHL in two seasons due to health concerns. However, you can make the argument that Toews has been one of the best two-way forwards in the league over the last two decades. He is a +148 in his career, and won the Selke Trophy in 2012-13, where he was a +19 in only 47 games. Here is the reaction on X.
Reportedly set to sign with the @NHLJets once free agency begins on July 1, Winnipeg-born Jonathan Toews will look to revive an NHL career that’s seen him play just 124 games in 5 years. He will bring a wealth of winning experience as he sits tied for 4th on this list of captains pic.twitter.com/W908KyRGIG
