Rumor: Monster update on Joe Thornton & Patrick Marleau.

Substantial Development on the Two Living Legends

The San Jose Sharks have the two best players in the history of their organization set to be free agents this summer, and by the sounds of it they aren’t any closer to getting a deal done with either man. Would the Sharks be willing to commit over $5 million against the cap for an aging Joe Thornton? If they don’t you can bet that there is likely at least one NHL team out there willing to do exactly that level of commitment should it mean acquiring someone of Thornton’s pedigree. 

However, things might be turning differently as reported by the San Jose Sharks beat reporter Curtis Pashelka.

According to Pashelka, GM Doug Wilson says dialogue with Thornton and Marleau is continuing. He Says Thornton is at the practice facility, working out every day.

Nothing pointing in the direction of an upcoming trade.
