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

The Chicago Blackhawks’ rebuilding squad will get quite the test on the opening night of the NHL regular season.

The NHL has released the schedule for the 2025-26 season and every fan has combed their favorite team's slate for must-see games. Likewise, we have gone through the slate to find the most highly anticipated matchups.

The Chicago Blackhawks are receiving trade calls on a former first-round pick and a young forward in Lukas Reichel.

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.

The Blackhawks also have an impressive goalie pipeline. They acquired 24-year-old Spencer Knight this past season, which gives them a solid NHL netminder. He’s likely the starter of the future, but they also have Drew Commesso and Adam Gajan on their way.

We take a look at three ideal trade candidates on the current Blackhawks roster that GM Kyle Davidson could consider parting ways with.
