The Toronto Star describes how the Leafs subtly added two Toronto-born players to the roster this off-season in David Clarkson and Dave Bolland. Another five players on the team are from Ontario.
Assistant GM Dave Poulin: "Be that through the draft (one from Ontario this year), by trade, or by free agency. David Bolland was an opportunity to acquire one of only eight Blackhawks who were on both Cup teams. David Clarkson was the top free agent available and fit our needs. Our theory is always the best available player that fits in with our direction."
Clarkson: "There haven't been many (Leafs) from the area. I'm lucky enough to play in this city where I wore that jersey as a kid. Bringing in guys from the home town is a great thing. We know what it's about. We have a lot of good hockey players in this area. It's great to have some of us come home and play."
