Questions Ahead for Blackhawks/Toews

The question hovered over the Chicago Blackhawks throughout a promising season, and it remains in place right now. What exactly is going on with Jonathan Toews?

The 33-year-old captain missed the entire season. He announced in December that he was dealing with an unspecified medical issue that left him feeling “drained and lethargic.” What is next for Toews is perhaps the most pressing issue for a team that took some small steps forward this year.

The Blackhawks missed the postseason for the third time in four seasons but was in contention until late.
