Doesn’t present something new to us as a result of he’s not signed formally with the Toronto Maple Leafs. We all know that.
So far as what’s occurring with it, up within the air nonetheless. Should you haven’t signed with Toronto Maple Leafs, you then’re not going to put on their jersey at a charity occasion. You’re going to put on your most up-to-date groups jersey, which is smart. I don’t suppose it takes something away or garners any further info on that scenario.
I’d have an interest, nonetheless, to know if he was enjoying golf on the charity factor. You bought a bunged up knee so dangerous that you would be able to’t even get the docs to determine in case you might be cleared or not. See, we’ll see, I’ll discover out if he’s been enjoying truly or not as a result of I may result in some well being, well being determinations on the place he’s at. However, once more, no, no new information. Should you ask me, judged by that image.
