Rumor: Sportsnet's Chris Johnston Thornton and Leafs have mutual interest.

and dickinson??? Dickinson is probably better than anyone in the leafs bottom 6

He doesn't even know who Dickinson is. He points out the Stars bottom six, but he clearly didn't even watch the Stars in the Final.

Only in Toronto can you get so many people criticising a potential depth signing.

Only a Toronto fan would think the main boards require a thread about a rumour about the team possibly signing a depth forward.

And yet here you are, spending your time posting in it.

I hate the Leafs too, but this forum is literally for posting things like this.....

Good luck finding another thread about a rumor about signing a fourth line player.

come on. Any future hall of Famer signing a contract should be thread worthy.

He will chip in leadership and can play.

I agree.

But he hasn't signed any contract. But that's not even the issue, the issue is that people thinking the signing of a 41 year old forward is not work of genius is the issue. I think being sceptical of this potential move is a pretty reasonable response and pretending people being critical of the move is a "Leaf bias" is such a tired reaction.

The thread must be justified?

I'm not the one complaining about the direction of the thread, and I'm here discussing it with all fans.

That's a strange description of a thread that you seem to spend a lot of your time in.

If true the Leafs bottom 6 will be old as dust and slow

Kerfoot - Thornton - Simmonds
Vesey - Spezza - Engvall

It's good news if there is a "Canadian Division" next season. The more games against them the better with their bottom six.

Are you new to hockey? A future HOFer potentially signing with his hometown team to close out his career is beyond thread worthy lol

Looking at that list of a bottom 6 Kerfoot Vesey Engvall are not slow and not sure why Spezza is included as slow. Spezza isn't the fastest guy buy he's not slow.

Who also happens tobe a future hall of famer?

Your grasping forsomething here.

 

[Jacksonbobson]

Well to be fair, the Stars made the finals with a bottom 6 of Cogliano (3 goals), Comeau (6th team), Dickinson (who?), Janmark (dime a dozen) and Perry (washed).

I mean, I know the Leafs bottom 6 isn't jaw dropping or anything but its certainly comparable to this tire fire that just went deep.

Why not just say "I didn't watch any of the playoffs" instead of posting this nonsense?

 

[Jee]

I don't get what the Leafs are trying to do ?

 

[Adele Dazeem]

Wow somehow the Leafs are going to ice an even worse team.

 

[Beville]

Why? Lol.

Where is the space? Both players and cap.

What does he bring?

Why would he leave SJ? There’s far better options if he’s so desperate for a cup. Just ask Marleau how that turned out going to TML.

 

[ToDavid]

According to Friedman several Leafs players have reached out to Joe.

I'm not particularly interested but if the players want him there it certainly wouldn't hurt to have him in the room at near league minimum.

 

[OldCraig71]

Joe would bring a winning pedigree.

 

[HogtownSabresfan]

Leafs signing Jagr next

 

[serp]

Doesn't Spezza already fill the exact same role ? Old fourth liner center who can bring some offense and play on the 2nd PP unit but is a defensive liability . Why both ?

Also who are the Leafs PK forwards . That bottom six has like 2
