...he even impishly suggested that he might sign with the Leafs next summer when he becomes a free agent.

"This is my realm here. Sometimes I feel this is where I was born to play hockey," said the 35-year-old. "I've score more points against this team than any other team in the league. This city has been really good to me outside the rink. It's been real fun for me. I always circle the date on my calendar every year when the schedule comes out...You think Tie Domi is big here. If I'd have played here ... oh man."

Sure, we'll sign you...for the league minimum plus performance bonuses. Play 75 games, another $500,000. Score 70 points, another $500,000. Get in line JR, alot of players want to come to the Leafs.
