Leafs' Recent Acquisition Reveals Why he Joined Toronto

Here's what he said during an interview:
«Ever really since the first day of free agency there, Toronto's kind of been a team that I've been in talks with.»
His main goal was to sign a regular contract somewhere, but it didn't happen, so he accepted Toronto's offer.
Toronto's Strengthened Bottom-Six
With the training camp starting, we can't wait to see who'll be on top to start the season on the final lineup. There's a lot of talent in the bottom-six and the competition will be fierce.
Gregor has a real chance of making it.
Last year, he netted 10 goals in 57 games with the Sharks, which is impressive for a player who wasn't always in the starting lineup.
Securing Gregor on a PTO is a strategic move for Toronto. It's a low-risk, high-reward scenario: If he shines during the training camp, the upside is massive. But if things don't work out? Toronto's crucial cap space remains unaffected.
