It's kind of funny he gives a list of teams he wants, but they all have no interest.

I strongly feel he won't get offered a deal by anyone next year, unless it's a Spezza type deal.

- RogerRoeper


If he can get to around 35 points he might get a 1 year million somewhere. But I'm sure he only wants to play on a contender which limits his options.

Don't take it too badly.

Players don't want to come to Montreal all the time.

And when they do, their team matches the offer!!

- Scabeh

Actually the athletic had a poll for agents. The question was which teams appears on NTC for players.

Out of over 30 agents only 1 picked Toronto. 4 picked Montreal.

I don't think playing for Montreal is viewed as a problem in a potential trade.

But it's rarely their first choice.

He has. And Thornton’s size when the PK turns it around and rushes it back could be useful, especially along the boards
- Dozzer


But he’s “done” isn’t he? Like Spezza was?

Tbh if I’m picking one guy on the Leafs I want carrying into the zone on the PP it’s Spezza. All day.

They do that massive drop back pass to him where Spezza picks up speed and he gets a clean zone entry 8/10 times. And it’s consistent.

Winnipeg, Ottawa and Buffalo had like 9 choices each.

MTL and EDM both had 4 I think.

Toronto was the only Canadian team without more than 1 choice. Kind of sad all these players want to play in the America’s.

One Agent did say MTL has the worst taxes and they aren’t exactly easy to work around like they are in other tax heavy cities.

Exactly. They may have lost a step or two but they know the game, they know the mistakes young guys tend to make, and they know how to take advantage of that. They’re still extremely effective players and if they can be had for less than a million? Yes...I’ll take them on my team all day any day

Toronto should give us this game. That'll draw us even. Think how much more insane that would make game #4 between us with like a week to go. Still hoping for the Leafs that played Carolina and the 1st Pens game of the back to back to show up. Please and thanks

I would say so.

Sign Pietrangelo in FA and add another top-4 in a trade.

I'll preface this by saying that this is not a leading question. Have you watched any San Jose games this year? I've seen maybe three . . maybe even only two - one was including the game against Toronto where we dominated them and in another I recall SJ looking pretty weak as well. In the game or two I've seen, I noticed that he was basically waiting for other guys to do the work for him. On the PP he is still a great passer and he's smart. For the 11 power plays we get all year, it feels like he'd be a liability more often than not on the Leafs.

But he could hang around and beat up Kadri when he comes to town.
