Mutual interest between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Joe Thornton?
James Mirtle of The Athletic: A source is saying that something could be up with Joe Thornton and the Toronto Maple Leafs.
The Maple Leafs don’t have a lot of salary cap space, but if the Thornton (or any other veteran free agent) was interested in playing for $1 to $1.5 million, they might be able to fit that in.
The sides are talking and it sounds like there is a mutual interest.
Thornton is now 41-years old but he could be looking for one last shot at the Cup.
