NHL Rumors: Six potential landing spots for Joe Thornton … Sharks, Hertl and Couture

Six potential landing spots for Joe Thornton …

Rory Boylen of Sportsnet: Looking at six teams that could be interested in Sharks pending unrestricted free agent center Joe Thornton.

Winnipeg Jets – The Jets acquired Paul Stastny at the trade deadline to be their third-line center. If Stastny signs somewhere else, they could be in the market for a center.

Toronto Maple Leafs – Was a teammate of Patrick Marleau for 12 years. Thornton wouldn’t get a multi-year deal, but they could fit in him on their third-line to replace Tyler Bozak on a one-year deal.
