The Chicago Blackhawks have had a quiet offseason, making only a few trades here and there, and signing one player, C/W Ryan Donato, to a four-year deal.

The Winnipeg Jets' schedule has been released, and Blackhawks fans are circling their calendars for the return of Jonathan Toews to Chicago.

Within five years, Toews captained Chicago to championships in 2013 and '15, the latter when won the Mark Messier NHL Leadership Award and an ESPY as the best player in the NHL. At the time, he was hailed as one of the most respected players in the League, with no foreseeable end to his career.
