Kane, Toews acknowledge they'll need to make decision on their future in Chicago soon
The futures of Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews in Chicago are set to be decided in the coming weeks as they both sit down with management and their agents.
Both Kane and Toews are set to become unrestricted free agents on July 1st and with the Blackhawks not anywhere close to being in a playoff spot, the team will accommodate trades for the duo, if they decide it's time to leave the Windy City.
On Thursday, the pair acknowledged that they will need to make that decision on whether or not to remain in Chicago past the March 3rd deadline relatively soon.
Kane, 34, has spent his entire 16-year career in the NHL with Chicago, amassing 1,212 points (439 goals, 773 assists) in 1,151 games. In 2015-16, the Buffalo native won the Hart Trophy, Ted Lindsay Trophy and the Art Ross Trophy. Kane sits second all-time in Blackhawks franchise history for goals and points, behind Stan Mikita.
Much like Kane, Jonathan Toews has also spent his entire career with the Blackhawks, with both players being key pieces to their Stanley Cup wins in 2010, 2013 and 2015. The 34-year-old currently sits sixth all-time in franchise history for points (879) and goals (370).
Expect the trade action to pick up very soon as we're officially five weeks away from the NHL's deadline, which is set for Friday, March 3rd at 3 p.m. ET.
