Friedman "...& I heard the Leafs called and asked about Thornton"
Friedman "the Leafs said, if Thornton's available we'd like to talk about this with you and him."
Friedman "it didn't go anywhere because the Sharks were interested in shaking things up but didn't want to move Thornton"

That is referencing a year and a half ago when the Sharks sold off Murray and Clowe. Friedman said after that he isn't sure what the Leafs position would be today even though Nonis is still the GM.
