Friedman on Thornton & the Leafs: “The recruitment effort is on” (Sportsnet 590) The push is on. The recruitment effort is on. I would hate to handicap it. I don’t have enough info to say one way or another, but the Leafs have definitely begun reaching out to him and letting him know he is wanted. I think some of the core players are part of that. One thing I have been warned about in the past is to not under-estimate Thornton’s loyalty to San Jose.
On Hockey Central, Elliotte Friedman provided the latest on the Leafs‘ pursuit of Joe Thornton.
