Major illness will prevent Jonathan Toews from being dealt
The Chicago Blackhawks confirmed horrible news regarding their captain Jonathan Toews, as he officially will not be traded this season due to lingering effects of a major illness.
Toews released the following statement through the Blackhawks PR:
''First of all, thank you to the fans and all those who have shown concern about my absence. I'm still dealing with the symptoms of Long COVID and Chronic Immune Response Syndrome.''
�'It has been really challenging to play through these symptoms. In the last few weeks, it has reached the point where I had no choice but to step back and concentrate on getting healthy. I am thankful for the patience and support of my teammates, the coaching staff, and the entire Blackhawks organization.''

The veteran reportedly didn't find it fair for another team to acquire him while he's still dealing with the illness.
Horrible news for Toews who missed all of the 2021-22 season because of the same reason. The 34-year-old has 14 goals and 14 assists in 46 games with Chicago this season.
