Gustafsson is FA next summer and they won't have the cap to resign him. Add the fact Toews contract AAV isn't really good from now until the end of his contract. He's paid based on past performance even though he was good last season. (like Price and Erik Karlsson) (Pat Kane is the one living up to his contract)
Besides Toews will retire as a Hawk and has a full NMC.
Lol yeah...this is a no. Not to mention Laine’s contract is up in 2 years and after what we saw this summer, no thanks.
seriously.... chicago would be to be insane not to take this deal... a rental and a player declining for a 21 year old sniper (and playmaker apparently) that has one of the best shots in the nhl already... adding that to their young core makes them completely lethal
