While it was initially thought that Toews had decided not to return, a report by Mark Lazerus from The Athletic revealed that Toews had informed his teammates that the Blackhawks would not be re-signing him. The conversation between Toews and his teammate MacKenzie Entwistle was said to be casual, with no formal announcement made.
