SAN JOSE -- The Sharks' roster is, as Ozzy Osbourne once sang, "going through changes" now that Joe Pavelski has departed and the captaincy is currently vacant.
For the better part of the summer, fans and talking heads alike have speculated who the best candidate is to wear the "C" this coming season. On Friday, veteran center Joe Thornton offered his two cents when asked who might be next in line to lead San Jose.
"I think you have a lot of candidates," said Thornton, who has been both a captain and an alternate captain during his 14-season tenure with the Sharks.
