According to “TSN“If Joe Thornton was not finally traded by the San Jose Sharks before the deadline to close a deal on Monday, it was only because the clubs interested in his services were not very numerous. 3 or 4 teams expressed interest in Thornton, which had a no-trade clause.
Bitter, Thornton said that ” As you get older you realize you have very little chance of winning the Stanley Cup and it would have been nice to have one … I wanted an opportunity. I’ve been chasing her for 22 years “Said the 40-year-old veteran to a reporter for” The Athletic “.
Still, Thornton, 40, has only collected 2 goals and 23 assists in 62 games this year, also had a fairly poor record to interest a formation of the foreground.
