It’s not a coincidence that the San Jose Sharks find themselves among the rumors in the NHL right now. An injury to a player like Joe Thornton will do that do a team.
Le Journal de Montreal listed the Sharks as a possible destination for their captain, Max Pacioretty. Here’s what Le Journal had to say on the matter (the translated by me version).
“The Sharks and their core of veterans will never be able to aim for the Stanley Cup. GM Doug Wilson can’t leave anything to chance and must improve his team.
The young Timo Meier is doing a good job on the left wing, but Pacioretty could make a splash with Joe Pavelski or the playmaker Joe Thornton – who will be absent for an indefinite period.
