Former Columbus Blue Jackets captain Nick Foligno is eyeing Thursday as his potential debut for the Toronto Maple Leafs, he said on an NHL.com podcast. The Maple Leafs acquired the left wing on April 11 in a three-team trade with Columbus and the San Jose Sharks, with each team retaining a portion of Foligno's salary so he can join the North Division leaders for their Stanley Cup pursuit. Toronto visits the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday.
Very strange doings today at the Leafs practice in Vancouver. This game is the last genuine opportunity to get the prospects into a game before the focus has to be get the new Maple Leafs acquired at the deadline into the game. The expectation is that Nick Foligno will join the team for Thursday’s game in Winnipeg.
I’m happy it didn’t take too long and we were able to come to terms that I think we’re both happy with. It was one of those things that it’s nice to have out of the way, it’s nice to know where I’ll be. It’s one of those things where you look at the makeup of teams in the NHL and the league seems to be getting younger every year.
