"The Toronto Maple Leafs opened up training camp on Sunday and the excitement is in the air. Head coach Sheldon Keefe and his crew will be looking to prove the doubters wrong after a disappointing performance in the bubble. General manager Kyle Dubas brought in some seasoned veterans to try and help the Leafs get over the playoff hump they just cant't seem to get over. Among those veterans we find ageless wonder Joe Thornton who signed a one year deal. Many wondered where Thornton would slot into the lineup and if he would play every night. On Sunday Keefe revealed that Thornton will start the season playing left wing on a line with Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner. This should definitely be a very interesting line to watch with lots of potential. What do you think of Keefe's decision?
