Toronto is now an elderly residence of hometown players. Spezza, Simmons and now Thornton.

Very good signing. He along with Spezza and Simmonds should motivate this team well and get them past the hurdle.

Simmonds-Thorton-Spezza line is coming

Now the real question here is who is wearing the #19 next season

But man Dubas can have thorton and than at the deadline trade for Marleau having the dynamic duo for the playoffs.

Imagine

Hyman-Matthews-Marner
Mikheyev-Tavares-Nylander
Vesey-Kerfoot-Simmonds
Marleau-Thorton-Spezza

Leaving the Sharks wasn't the problem. It's the team he signs with

I thought this was the same team that traded to get more draft picks at junior time ?? Was that simply for the fulfillment of the Ego of Mr Dubas? He's not playing with peoples' lives is he? I mean he surely has cap room to sign juniors right?

If your idea of going for it is signing a pair of guys who have been over the Hill for 2 years now and a bunch of other bottom sixers I have some bad news for you


Joe and Spezza and the like aren't here as go for it talent.

The team has the talent. They've shored up their weaknesses, and they are betting on Freddy returning to form. The one thing they lacked was that killer instinct. That 'do it for her' attitude. That's what Joe and spez adds. This is the missing piece.

With Spezza and Thornton, the Leafs have to be the favourites for the 2006 playoffs.

So the slowest and oldest line in the league? That's great if you want them getting lit up every game.

do people really care about the 4th line that much lul they get 8 mins a night at best. They can be as slow as they want cause matthews and Tavares will be playing the majority of the time.

Dermotts taking his QA as he has no arbitration rights, Mikheyev 1.5mill so all we need to do is send Holl down and we got the space. Basically nobody needs to get traded Engvall and Holl would have to be buried but meh its fine.

Holl could get traded but rn no need to.
