Rumor: Sharks and Bruins working on an interesting deal

The San Jose Sharks are ready to turn the page on the veteran core of their team and it's been rumored around the league that Joe Thornton could be done on the West Coast.

Lots of scouts here tonight, of course, considering these two teams. Second time I’ve seen Bruins exec. director of player personnel John Ferguson Jr. recently. Was in San Jose about 2 weeks ago

The Bruins are believed to be interested in bringing back Thornton for a playoff run in a move that would spark absolute chaos in Boston for all the right reasons. With the Sharks scouting the Bruins for almost a month now very closely, it's likely these two teams complete a deal before Monday afternoon.

Are these the last days of Joe Thornton on the Sharks?

NHL executives believe the Bruins and Avalanche make sense as a fit for him if the Sharks trade the franchise legend https://t.co/EVUiKcR6vi pic.twitter.com/D0TZKMbPBn

Keep an eye on Thornton's name over the course of the next 72 hours. If a trade goes through, it's because Thornton approved the destination.
