Hi
I was thinking, with Evander Kane and Eric Karlson hinting at Joe Thornton’s return what are the chances that the Sharks do what they did when they acquired Kyle Wellwood years ago through re-entry waivers with Joe Thorton? I mean it would be very smart financially Joe Thorton signs with Toronto at 700k jersey sales will be through the roof for Toronto. Then Joe doesn’t truly ever play with Toronto and the sharks claim him and Toronto pays half his salary and Sharks half due to Re entry waivers. Do Re entry waiver rules apply to Joe/ is this possible?
Thanks

Based on Thornton’s comments, he’s definitely expecting to play in Toronto.
