He’s Slowly Heading Out of San Jose

It looks as if San Jose Sharks star Joe Thornton will hit the open market. Despite ongoing negotiations with his parent club, it doesn’t appear that a new deal is imminent with the Sharks and he’ll likely receive offers from across NHL on July 1st.

While the rumors are pointing in every direction regarding Joe Thornton, two seems to be more plausible than the others:

1- “I know that one of my New York Rangers sources on the draft floor suggested that they would kick tires on Joe Thornton.” Reported TSN insider Darren Dreger earlier this week.

2- According to Montreal insiders DLC, sources told him Joe Thornton will be visiting Montreal tonight even though some insider reported earlier he had not planned to do so. Former team Canada teammate layers like Shea Weber and Carey Price would have convinced him to visit Montreal.

A third team could be in the mix and that would be the Toronto Maple Leafs.
