Chelios asks the Leafs for a job

And not front-office. He asked them if they were looking for a veteran defenseman.

Veteran? Wasn't he playing the last time the Leafs won it? :^^^^:

:^^^^: How many D-men does he think this team needs?

Holy cow....no. They don't need another shutdown D-man to go with their 78 other shutdown D-men.

Wow...poor Chelly. No one wants?

He should go back to MTL.

When exactly will he know that it's time?

When 30 GMs tell him its his time.

Poor guy it seems he will be forced tor retire.

i dont feel too bad for him he has not really got a lot of gas left to give i think he would better serve as a coach or assistant to help young defense develop

i mean he is 47 most teams are going to want to go with younger guys

Our head coach is younger than this guy lol

He's helping Burke out with Team USA. Who knows, he just might get something out of them. Player/coach -- why not?

He's been playing longer than I've been alive.

Well, sorry, no offense but, I've been married longer than you've been alive, so I'm sure I've got at least one kitchen appliance older than you. :^^^^:

That appliance would be more useful to the leafs than Chelios :^^^^:

Yeah, probably. It can really ... mix 'em up.

I like the player/coach option. Chelios can bring so much veteran presence to the Leafs squad. More emphasis on the coaching side, as with Toronto's d the way it is, there really is no room for him.

But seriously, give him special teams duty, 3-4 minutes a game and have him on the bench talking to the younger players.

I like the idea, unlikely Burke will bite though
