The San Jose Sharks are clearing the deck and rugged LWinger Scott Thornton appears to be the next to go….A bidding war is beginning to escalate around the London, Ontario native who is finishing up his third season in San Jose.

The Toronto Maple Leafs, Ottawa Senators and New Jersey Devils are said to be in the hunt. However, sources say Thornton could also be the centre piece of a trade to Philadelphia that may include injured forward Justin Williams(but highly unlikely due to their recent acquisition of Lapointe).

Thornton’s is earning $1,425,000 this season

Last year Thornton had 26goals, 16assists for 42points, and 116 penalty minutes….

Experts Note: I’m betting Damphousse(5.7mill) will be the next to be fished out….
