Joe Thornton’s San Jose Sharks career will reportedly last at least one more season. Thornton has re-signed with San Jose on a one-year deal, according to Friend of the Blog (and NBC Sports California’s) Kevin Kurz. The contract, worth at least $6 million may not yet be finalized, TSN’s Bob McKenzie and the Mercury News’ Paul Gackle reported.
If Jumbo Joe re-ups in SJ, his one-year deal there could be in excess of $6M. Certainly, at least $6M.

Thornton became a free agent on Saturday, and reportedly received interest from around the league.
