I think the Leafs might need some defensive help, No?

This one reeks of desperation.

Best wishes in your future endeavors, Ek.

When you make stuff up Eklund try to at least make it sound remotely possible. Did you heard this one from your top sources? Elliott Friendman and Bob Mackenzie's twitter accounts lol

The Leafs don't need another perimeter player although Thornton would be an upgrade on a lot of their soft and selfish players.

Leafs offer Marner, Nylander and 2 firsts for Thornton. Darren Dreger says that's not enough...

No Show Joe is too slow Joe but he would make Aging Spezza look faster. Sutter and Tanev for Kapanen would make the Leafs much more playoff ready.

No Joe! It may have been a nice tought a few years ago, but it's too late! We need someone like Bennett from the Flames for our 3rd line centre!

Jumbo coming to the Wings is pointless at this point...though it’d be nice to see.

Joe going to Toronto if he goes with a quality Dman isn’t such a crazy idea. (Like Spezza) He can lineup on the wing and at centre. Depth down the middle is key. Good on draws, responsible defensively, still a great passer on the PP (with more time and space)...A big upgrade from them having to dress Gauthier. Guy is useless.

I get he hasn’t won, but that’s not so much on Joe. I remember watching Joe set up guys for tap-ins all playoff long year after year.

Overall maybe a sneaky good move - especially if a Dman goes with him to help sort the leafs d defence.

Why would a team that’s not going to make the playoffs trade for a 40 year old rental? This is dumb
