Phil Posted October 14, 2020 Author Share Posted October 14, 2020 2. Hearing several core Maple Leafs have personally pitched Joe Thornton on going to Toronto. The courtship is on and the interest is real. But one thing I’ve always been told about the future Hall of Famer: do not underestimate his loyalty to San Jose. https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/31-thoughts-inside-tough-tense-early-days-nhl-free-agency/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keirik Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I would have thought the re-up of Marleau to SJ would have made Thornton take one more kick of the can and if its not working out there, trade to Toronto at deadline if possible but who knows. Toronto would rather get him for nothing I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThirtyONE Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 He would have been a good get for the Rangers on a 1 yr deal. I'm concerned about the total lack of veterans and a team of 20 year olds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I'm curious why you haven't brought him up until now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 And Thornton wants to win. That requires a playoff team, bare minimum... just sayin'. OK and it's either SJ or Toronto as landing spots... How much better were those teams records last season? Oh.. Worse than the Rangers....... Just sayin.

Phil Posted October 16, 2020 Author Share Posted October 16, 2020 Signed. One year deal. OP updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThirtyONE Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I can't tell if the Leaf signings are good or if they're just signing washed up guys to try to replicate what Dallas did. Now they have Spezza and Thornton. Two guys at center who can't really play anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Glad he went elsewhere we met our quota of signing a guy who can't play anymore already this offseason. Let JT chase his cup in Toronto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now they have Spezza and Thornton. Two guys at center who can't really play anymore.And Simmonds... It's even like the guys they've signed are proven winners. If anything, Thornton is just another choke artist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted January 3, 2021 Author Share Posted January 3, 2021 Update: Keefe revealed these will be the Leafs working lines at the start of training camp on Monday: Thornton – Matthews – Marner Vesey – Tavares – Nylander Mikheyev – Kerfoot – Hyman Simmonds – Spezza – Barabanov The biggest surprise there being Thornton on the wing on the first line. More analysis on this to come. https://theathletic.com/2298629/2021/01/03/mirtle-leafs-training-camp-roster/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siddious Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Guys...
