Joe Thornton announced that he won’t be re-signing with the Florida Panthers, so could he be interested in returning to the Toronto Maple Leafs?
Reuniting Thornton with the Toronto Maple Leafs could be a welcomed sight for the dressing room, but what could he really bring at 43-years-old?
For the past few seasons, Thornton has regressed, but his influence in the dressing room has always been noticed. Every player who’s ever played with him seems to love him , so during a long 82-game season, having him around can help lighten the mood.
