Rumor: Toronto Maple Leafs To Sign Joe Thornton

At 41 years of age, Joe Thornton is still chasing his boyhood dream of hoisting the Stanley Cup. He was upset that he was not dealt at the trade deadline when the San Jose Sharks were not playoff contenders. He is now an unrestricted free agent and is looking for a cup contending team.

As per Elliotte Friedman, we can expect Joe Thornton to sign a $1 million - 2 million deal with the Toronto Maple Leafs. Thornton is still an elite playmaker and would be a great asset to a Maple Leafs team facing salary cap issues.
