Video: Joe Thornton gives update on his future in hockey

Joe Thornton was pissed off this year when the San Jose Sharks didn't trade him to a contender. The bearded veteran let everyone know about his displeasure, and now he wants to let everyone know - HE'S COMING BACK!

The Sharks center was asked by TSN's Pierre LeBrun what his future in the game looked like and Jumbo had this to say:

Checked in with Joe Thornton today. Even if the NHL season resumes at some point, I'm not sure non-playoff teams will be involved. So I asked him about playing next season.``I have years to go!,'' Jumbo replied via text. So plan on seeing him next season (and maybe beyond)...

Look for Thornton to sign elsewhere for next season. When that is, who the hell knows.
