The Toronto Maple Leafs announced today that the hockey club has signed forward Joe Thornton to a one-year contract. The value of the contract is $700,000.
Well there it is. In just about the least newsworthy item of the day, the San Jose Sharks have resigned “Jumbo” Joe Thornton to a one-year, $2 million contract for the 2019-2020 season. One that will likely be his last. The 40-year-old centerman enters his 22nd year in the NHL.
Patrick Marleau made his valiant return to the Shark Tank on Monday night as the Sharks have been playing some of their best hockey over the last few games, topping their latest victim, the Leafs 3-2.
