The Toronto Maple Leafs probably aren&#8217;t looking to sign an enforcer or an overly-outgoing personality, but neither of these things have stopped Paul Bissonnette from pleading his case in a bit of an unusual way this afternoon.

Funnily enough, Bissonnette was probably one of the better enforcers at actually playing hockey. He&#8217;s never peaked above eight points in a season, but most of his points tend to be goals or primary assists and his opponents tend to do anything but shoot when he&#8217;s on the ice. I&#8217;m in no way advocating this signing, as I don&#8217;t think the Leafs need an enforcer, but I&#8217;m surprised that teams who still believe that they do have passed on him for the past two seasons.
With that said, I don&#8217;t think sliding into Shanny&#8217;s DMs is going to do him much good today.
