Joe Thornton reportedly not ready to hang up the skates
Despite not playing during the 2022-23 season, longtime NHL forward and future Hall-of-Famer Joe Thornton is reportedly not ready to retire from professional hockey.
In an interview with Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, San Jose Sharks defenceman Mario Ferraro gave some insight into what Jose Thornton is up to and says that he believes the 44-year-old still wants to play.
The St. Thomas, Ontario native last played in the NHL during the 2021-22 season when he suited up in 34 games for the Florida Panthers where he tallied ten points (five goals, five assists).
It seems unlikely that a National Hockey League team will take a shot on Joe Thornton for a few reasons, including the fact he hasn't played a game since May 23rd, 2022. Thornton has a great relationship with Swiss club HC Davos, so if he is wanting to continue his professional career, they certainly could be an option.
