What is Henry Thrun excited for the surprise of Toronto store

Henry Thron relaxing in front of the TV turned into a moment that changes life before he even had time to process her. One minute watched the top gun; Next, his phone lighted the call from San Jose Sharks General Manager Mike Grier. When he replied, he learned He headed on the leaves of Maple Toronto in the store For Veteran, Ryan reacts.

“It was definitely surprising,” Thrun said, his voice that carries and disbelief and excitement. “But as soon as he told me where I traded, it was definitely a nice way to wrap that phone call.”

For 24-year, he joins Toronto feels like a new beginning waiting for. After spending the parts of three seasons with sea dogs, where he often had the task of severe defensive tasks, eager to show the side of his game that has yet to fully appear at the level of NHL.

“The aspect of my game that has not yet shone at the NHL level, it would be my ability to move on,” he explained. “It was the kind of my call card in Junior and College.”

While playing in San Jose, Thron took 25 points in 119 NHL games and it’s almost 19 minutes on average. Even with that experience, sometimes he felt hooked in a defensive zone, with a little space for creation.

“I was very happy to get a chance to get in there and play a pile of games and play a lot of minutes,” he said. “But sometimes I think it’s a little challenging to put it on positions to move the puck and get involved, and it’s obviously a lot of defense, which I could have some experience.”

It will help him in Toronto, but what excites him the most is a chance to prove that it can be more than excluding players. Maple leaves have made a habit of giving their defensement to slide, create and take risks in Pak. Thron feels he was ready to enter such a role.

“But for me, I’d say I was excited to be a two-way defense,” he said. “I think I’m reliable in most of the situations on ice. I think it is one of my special teams and up and down during the whole level, so I want to show and I can still show me, and I can still show and prove.”

Switching to Toronto also has a touch of irony. Thrun grew up in Massachusetts, rooting for Boston Bruins and admiration of Defenseman built Chara. However, his first NHL target came against Mapor’s leaves in Toronto, for a moment that still clearly remembers.

“It’s a pretty exciting moment achieving your first NHL goal, especially in town like Toronto,” he said.

In addition to nostalgia, Thron is looking forward to experience energy and passion coming with playing in a hockey city. He heard a lot about Toronto from the former teammate of Timothy Lichegra, who shared details about the organization and atmosphere within Scotiabank Arena.

“I have to hear a little about Toronto, how passionate fans are and how the first class organization,” Thrun said. “It’s something I’ve heard only good things and I’m excited to see everything first hand and experienced it.”

While some players can feel the pressure to move on to the market with expectations in heaven, Thron is to submit it. Shop sees as a chance to regain self-confidence and creativity defined by his play at the faculty and help the team with the ambitions of the championship.
