REPORT: Paparazzi Spots Joe Thornton in His New NHL City!?
This NHL off-season has been jam packed with emotional news, one of those reports being Zdeno Chara announcing his retirement from hockey as he received no interest, now it leaves 43-year old ''Jumbo Joe'' Thornton in a similar situation. Who was told this week that the Panthers were not interested in having the 25-year NHL veteran back.
Thornton spent eight years in Boston, and fifteen-straight years in San Jose before heading a different way in the 2020-21 season with the Toronto Maple Leafs, in hopes for another push at a Stanley Cup. Sadly Jumbo Joe did not get his wish, and headed to the Cup Favourites, the Florida Panthers which ended up getting swept and demolished in the first round of the playoffs.
Now, rumours have circulated that the Calgary Flames are kicking tires, but Joe Thornton has been spotted in a different NHL city, one that makes A LOT more sense...
Joe Thornton has been spotted in San Jose, the Sharks team was questioned on a possible return of Joe Thornton returning to the Sharks for one year before he retires, and the Sharks stated ''He has no official role with the team''. So, something could very well be in the works, no contenders have kicked tires at the 43-year old, so why not return home for the final finale??
