Toronto Maple Leafs: Twitter reactions to free agency
By Omar L
The Big Fish
They did it. The Toronto Maple Leafs actually did it. Many had Patrick Marleau as one of the teamβs main targets going into free agency, and now heβll be wearing Β blue and white this October. The 37-year oldΒ agreed to a three-year-deal $18.75 million contract. You can bet that Leafs fans were happy about this one while others were cautiously optimistic to say the least.

I'm pretty stoked that Marleau is on the Leafs. I think its going to work out really well.

Maybe Marleau can teach Matthews to smile #Leafs

Some people don't think adding Marleau is much of an upgrade.

Zach Hyman had 28 points last year.
Patrick Marleau had 27 goals.#Leafs
Big fan of the Leafs adding Marleau. Despite being 37, he hasn't missed a game in 8 years!

Oh. So who's telling Connor Brown his jersey number conflicts with fellow teammate Patrick Marleau? #Leafs
