The verdict is in on a possible major trade involving Jonathan Toews: he has just issued a disturbing statement

After weeks and weeks of rumors, Jonathan Toews will finally not be traded. It is confirmed.

Moreover, he published an official statement worrying and really sad to explain this decision. Toews still has to deal with worrisome health issues due to the Long COVID.

So he made the (very good) decision to focus on his health. He hasn't played since January 28 and he doesn't want to force himself back into the game to justify any kind of trade

He wanted to be honest with the other teams. He feels that his body is not cooperating right now and is not allowing him to play at a high level.

At this point, hockey is really secondary. Let's just sincerely wish him to get healthy again and to be able to live a good life, in top shape, when his hockey career is over.
