Very interesting although not surprising - this thought process has been around for a while and other players have said as much in the past.
It does make you wonder how many players think this way though... + or - 10%? Even more?! It would be impossible to truly quantify since I'm sure it's more of a spectrum for most people for how much it plays in their mind, but it sure would be great to get a sense of this. We need some anonymous polls going here!
I lived in Tor. for two years, while there was a lot of finger pointing and recognition, including Jays (Delgado, Halladay as well) the vast majority left them alone and let them have meals in peace and didn't approach very often. So yeah even toddlers will recognize you, but you aren't swarmed every time you walk downtown or go shopping either.

Straight from a players mouth that players do think about playing for Toronto. Everyone raises their arms the second there's a rumour that a GTA born FA is going to Toronto. Well here's some proof they think about Toronto and playing for the Home Town. But the media drives them away. Now if Toronto becomes good and media dies down on scrutiny because they are winning, some guys can come to Toronto to play for the Leafs.

FWIW, a lot of whispers of ANH and TOR being linked to lengthy talks going late into the night re: either Vatanen or Fowler tonight.

Rumour is Vegas is working on a deal where they select a D toronto wants, and Toronto trades them for him.

The Leafs brass is so tight-lipped since Shanny took over that I don't believe any rumours stemming out of Toronto.
No one has seen any of the moves they've pulled off coming.
The Kessel, Phaneuf, Anderson deals came out of left field.
Only KHL/Europe signings get leaked. Like Calle Rosen a couple months ago.
When was the last time a trade/rumour was leaked in Toronto?

I don't think there's any doubt that they are trying to work out a situation with Vegas where they get a defenseman through this. The price is the only thing that will determine whether it happens and how much we actually hear about it.
Vatanen and Dumba
Wouldn't it be something if - since TSN is reporting Ottawa has not been able to reach a deal with Vegas - they take Methot and flip him to Toronto? heh.. there are several options prefer more. but still it would make me giggle
