NHL: Joe Thornton played his first game for the San Jose Sharks on Dec. 2, 2005
The San Jose Sharks made the biggest trade in the history of their franchise 17 years ago this week, sending defenseman Brad Stuart and forwards Wayne Primeau and Marco Sturm to the Boston Bruins for center Joe Thornton.
“If I was a guessing man, I think that he’s just piquing his own interest to see what he wants to do in the future.” “Obviously this organization thinks very highly of him as do all of the players in this dressing room,” Couture said. “If he wants to come around and spend time around us, he’s very much welcome.”
That season, the Sharks went from last place in the five-team Pacific Division to second place, making the playoffs and beating the Nashville Predators in five games in the first round. They lost in the second round to the Edmonton Oilers in six games. “We just see him quickly sometimes. Obviously, we noticed that he’s watching practice,” Sharks forward Timo Meier said last month. “Just great seeing him around. We don’t really know what his plans are, but he just loves to be at the rink and he’s a guy that you love to be around.”
