The long-time San Jose Shark confirmed to media at the NHL Awards in Las Vegas that he plans on playing next season and potentially beyond that.
At NHL Awards availability, Joe Thornton says he feels great and will return for 2019-20. He also says he isn’t thinking about just one more season, but even more as long as he feels good.Thornton, who turns 40 on July 2, does not have a contract with the Sharks yet for next season. He’s coming off his second-consecutive one-year deal, and earned $5 million last season.
The St. Thomas, Ont., native appeared in 73 games in 2018-19, scoring 16 goals and 51 points. He added another four goals and 10 points in 19 playoff games. Through 1,566 career games, Thornton has 413 goals, 1,065 assists and 1,478 points. He currently ranks eighth all-time in assists and 14th in points.
Hopefully he sheds that exoskeleton by opening game.
...and the NHL is all the better for it!!!!
Now's the time to win it all.
Jumbo Joe.👍
