Jumbo Joe...to Toronto...OH NO!

 

[KingsHockey24]

Radical.

 

[Gospel of Prospal]

So he's not going to retire to the Swiss countryside ala Charlie Chaplin?

 

[le_sean]

Lol

 

[Three On Zero]

Marleau didn’t work out so they will try Thornton?

 

[RABBIT]

“I’m back”

*phone buzzes*

“Oop hold up.”

 

[Gurglesons]

Good for Toronto.

 

[GM Armchair]

Some good? Off season signings for Toronto

 

[Gospel of Prospal]

Marleau didn’t work out so they will try Thornton?

Don't know why they weren't interested in Jagr

 

[SI90]

Will likely be for a low AAV but why do this when they brought Spezza back? Is Thornton going to be the 3C?

 

[Pavelski2112]

Would be sad to see him go, but he would be a great vet signing to help the young guys in TOR. Still an effective player with the right linemates, and every now and then you'll see the old Thornton come out with a ridiculous play.

Some good? Off season signings for Toronto

Some solid over the hill vets off to Toronto.

 

[Thirty Seven]

Turning out to be quite the expendables crew they're getting.

Next up will be Chara and Justin Williams will sign with them half way through the season.

 

[The don godfather]

Get the glucosamine ready !

 

[Team Cozens]

Will Marner call him dad?

 

[super6646]

Interesting

 

[GM Armchair]

The final piece to the molasses line

 

[SensFactor]

Leafs going for it by added as many pieces old and new that they can. Not sure how they are going to keep all additions in the lineup? some will end up in the press box? Maybe they are trying to move a player like Kerfoot?

 

[MarkusKetterer]

Will Marner call him dad?

No. Grandpa

 

[Marner4Life]

Marleau didn’t work out so they will try Thornton?

Marleau was fine! He was just being paid $5 million to much.

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

Marleau didn’t work out so they will try Thornton?

Maybe Canes can get another top 15 pick from them to take Thornton's contract off their hands.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Spezza, Thornton and Simmonds.
You can never have too much speed!

 

[Rob Brown]

Maybe Canes can get another top 15 pick from them to take Thornton's contract off their hands.

0% chance he's signed to anything remotely like that contract, but sure.

It still amazes me the spare parts that were traded to get Thornton when he was in his prime. It might still be one of the worst trades in NHL history.
