Leafs interested in Joe Thornton

Seems like Dan Boyle has interest in coming to Toronto, but that doesn't seem to be a long-term solution or a fit for the roster from what I see.

This fuckin team would show interest in him. Not like they didn't trade away a veteran puck moving defensemen for a pylon already. They might as well give him a 5mil contract to boot.

Most fans in SJ love Thornton. If anyone would be the scapegoat, it would be Marleau, and fans have smartened up and come around to liking him as well.

Everyone around the league was bashing the Sharks for choking against LA and idiots start talking about "blowing the team up" every season but I really liked the Sharks roster from top to bottom this year. The players were/are not the problem.

They need a couple of younger and better DMen but they have the roster in place for the most part.

MacLellan on the other hand wwas superbly outcoached by Sutter and really seems to fuck up on adjustments in the playoffs.

Boyle can kick rocks...he can still play and move the puck but he's worn down and he makes too many boneheaded mistakes these days. Though I could see him going to a place like Detroit or Chicago and doing well with the right linemates.

Boyle will sign with the flyers or the Bruins. Just watch.
