Rumor: Joe Thornton wants to stay with the Sharks, will take paycut

[One Winged Angel]

He was drafted in 1997, played since 97-98 as an 18 year old #1 pick and was a burgeoning top line forward by 99-00 (60 points) and ppg by 00-01. He definitely qualifies as a 90s era player.

I'd disagree. His best days were in the 2000's.

The question is do the Sharks want to bring him back

They should. He can be a good mentor and add depth to the lineup.
