Well there you have it folks. Pricy but whatever, guess Hawks had to give them what they wanted. Hope this messes their team up financially.

Blackhawks agree to terms with Toews and Kane
By Chicago Blackhawks

The Chicago Blackhawks announced today that the team has agreed to terms with forwards Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane on eight-year contract extensions, which run through the 2022-23 National Hockey League season. A formal press conference will be held at the United Center next week, with day and time being announced at a later date.

Toews, 26, became the youngest captain in Blackhawks history, third-youngest in NHL history, on July 18, 2008 and has guided the organization to two Stanley Cup championships during his time in Chicago. He became the second-youngest player to win the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP following the Blackhawks 2010 championship, the franchise’s first title in 49 years. He won the NHL’s Frank J. Selke Trophy, given annually to the forward who best excels in the defensive aspects of the game, in 2013 and was a finalist for the award in 2011 and 2014. Toews was also a finalist for the Calder Memorial Trophy as the NHL’s top rookie in 2008 and was selected for the NHL All-Star Game in 2009, 2011 and 2012. He was named to the NHL’s Second All-Star Team following the 2013 campaign.

The Winnipeg, Manitoba, native has recorded 440 points (195g, 245a) in 484 career regular-season games with the Blackhawks, since making his debut during the 2007-08 campaign. He shares fifth on the franchise’s all-time list in game-winning goals (six), is 20th in goals, 22nd in points and is tied for 27th in assists. He has recorded 81 points (29g, 52a) in 94 career postseason games with the Blackhawks, ranking sixth in franchise history in playoff points, seventh in assists and ninth in goals. He is also the all-time franchise leader with 10 postseason game-winning goals.

Toews is a two-time Olympic champion, helping Canada to back-to-back gold medals in 2010 and 2014. He has also represented Canada at two World Championships, earning a gold medal in 2007 and a silver in 2008, and two World Junior Championships, winning gold medals in 2006 and 2007. Prior to his professional career, Toews recorded 85 points (40g, 45a) in 76 career games with the University of North Dakota from 2005 to 2007, reaching the NCAA Frozen Four in both of his collegiate seasons. He was originally selected by the Blackhawks in the first round, third overall, of the 2006 NHL Entry Draft.

Kane, 25, has helped the Blackhawks to two Stanley Cup championships, scoring the series-clinching goal in Game 6 of the 2010 Stanley Cup Final and winning the Conn Smythe Trophy following the 2013 title. Kane captured the 2008 Calder Memorial Trophy as the NHL’s rookie of the year and has been selected to participate in the NHL All-Star Game three times: 2009, 2011 and 2012. Kane was also selected as an NHL First-Team All-Star in 2010 and named to the All-Rookie Team in 2008.

The Buffalo, N.Y., native has registered 493 points (178g, 315a) in 515 career regular-season games with Chicago dating back to 2007-08. He ranks 12th in team history in assists, is 15th in points and 21st in goals. He also ranks 11th in franchise history with 30 game-winning goals. Kane has posted 91 points (37g, 54a) in 93 career Stanley Cup playoff games with Chicago, ranking fifth in team history in playoff points and goals, and sixth in assists. He shares second in Blackhawks history with two playoff hat tricks and is third with seven postseason game-winning tallies.

Kane has represented the United States in two Winter Olympics, winning a silver medal in the 2010 games in Vancouver. He also appeared for the U.S. in the 2008 World Championships and won a bronze medal at the 2007 World Junior Championships. Prior to his professional career Kane played one season of junior hockey with the Ontario Hockey League’s London Knights in 2006-07, tallying an OHL-high 145 points (62g, 83a) in 58 games. He was named the OHL’s Rookie of the Year and an OHL First-Team All-Star, as well as to the OHL All-Rookie Team. Kane also played two seasons with the United States National Team Development Program, in Ann Arbor, Mich., from 2004 to 2006. He was selected by the Blackhawks in the first round, first overall, in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft.

10.5M caphit wow.....

Can't believe they wouldnt take 8.5M or so.

I had so much respect for Toews and now not so much. What greed. Whatever I dont like Chicago anyways.

Yep, I'm in the same boat as you. Good hockey player but this shows what they prioritize more - money over the team and teammates. To think $8.5 mill would be enough..

In their defense they did bring 2 cups to CHI.

Still, at that price i'm starting to suspect they might start going downhill soon. In terms of depth, CHI will suffer with these contracts.

Good deals for Chicago. They are worth every penny. Also cap is rising every year . When they are half way thru these deals, 10.5 mil per won't be that much. People need to stop looking at these deals as if the cap is gonna stay where it is for the next 8 years.
