Out of pure curiosity, any salary details available?

Not seeing it posted yet, but that is a good move if he can stay healthy. Plus a nice way to end his career if he can bring a cup home.

Verbal commitment per Elliotte Friedman and multiple others(Dreger, Pagnotta, LeBrun, Wyshynski, etc...).
Apparently can't officially sign until July 1st(which honestly doesn't make any sense to me given that he's already an UFA, his previous contract expired following the 22-23 season).

Well the new NHL season doesn't start until July 1, so odds are since he isn't currently under contract with a team the contract wouldn't be official if signed before.

I guess they needed a 4th line center because that's about all he is.

He’s a leader and respected player. If he can be dominant in the circles again, he could help them

Makes sense he’d go play for his hometown team. Probably as their 3C. I expect it to be a low cap hit but with incentives added. But we likely won’t hear the contract details until it becomes official on 7/1.

The troll approves this signing because it’s a Canadian player signing with a Canadian team. Toews could be cut after 3 games with 0 points and a -7 and the troll would spin it positively. If the Blues were signing Toews the troll would tell us what a disaster it was.

Troll on troll.

Super happy he’s healthy enough to give it a go. You seem upset.

Naaa in this case he would actually enjoy it. He's been super gay for Toews for well over a decade now.

According to reports; it's a 2 mil base with an additional 5 mil in potential bonuses.
Pretty dumb move by Winnipeg IMO.
