Leafs Media Rumours / Thornton Watch

« on: October 15, 2020, 08:59:56 AM »

Might as well, since Mirtle, Johnston, LeBrun, and Friedman have all mentioned the possibility and mutual interest of Joe Thornton finally landing in Toronto.

To follow up on @mirtle's piece, my understanding is that both Kyle Dubas and Sheldon Keefe have talked to Joe Thornton about the Leafs' interest. So let's see where this goes. Feels like the Sharks or Leafs at this point. I do think Jumbo would be a terrific fit in Toronto. https://t.co/3jZwu8r4x8

In the first post-trade deadline 31 Thoughts, @FriedgeHNIC weighs in on Joe Thornton's future, if the NHL will address the EBUG situation, the Vincent Trocheck deal, and much more.

Wondering where the Joe Thornton to the Leafs stuff came from? Here’s your answer: https://t.co/Ei9ck85rQm

— Steve “Dangle” Glynn (@Steve_Dangle) October 13, 2020

As per highly respected Neue Zürcher Zeitung, Joe Thornton has signed with #HCDavos, and will play this weekend with the 31-time Swiss champs. According to @NZZSport JT will not count against the import quota as he carries a Swiss passport. Nothing official yet from @HCDavos_off. https://t.co/x83XxwOTFq

Meanwhile, he will be hitting the ice for Davos

NHL Transactions / Alex Pietrangelo signs with Las Vegas: 7 years 8.8M AAV

« on: October 12, 2020, 07:08:14 PM »

I’m told it’s $8.8 M x seven years for Pietrangelo in Vegas https://t.co/hVyz9OAzzw

— Pierre LeBrun (@PierreVLeBrun) October 12, 2020

Pietrangelo 7x$8.8M in LV

— Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) October 12, 2020

An $8.8M x 7 year contract is fair value for Pietrangelo, who should remain an elite defender for the next three seasons pic.twitter.com/rvZuCXAXps

Sort of covers the Johnsson niche of LW that can float between mid-6 lines.

Season isn't even over yet (or is it?)
In addition to Holl, Marincin, and Engvall re-signing early last season, Teemu Kivihalme seems to like it here even though he can no longer officially practice in the off-season. Yet another two year deal spanning a raise in league minimum salaries, so we get Kivihalme at a cap hit that is less than 2021-22’s min when the Leafs have to sort out what happens with Andersen and Hyman and the Seattle draft.

Teemu Kivihalme has signed a two-year contract extension!
