On Tuesday (Jun. 24) afternoon, the 2025 Hockey Hall of Fame class was announced, and San Jose Sharks fans were hoping to hear one of their former players names called this time around.

That's exactly what happened, as longtime Sharks forward Joe Thornton has been named part of the 2025 class and will be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame.

Thornton joins Duncan Keith, Zdeno Chara, Jennifer Botterill, Brianna Decker, and Alexander Mogilny as members being inducted in the players category. Jack Parker and Danielle Sauvageau have been inducted as builders for this class as well.

Through 1714 career NHL games, Thornton scored 430 goals and added 1109 assists for 1539 points.

Congratulations, Jumbo Joe.

The NHL Draft is just days away and after an interesting story on the 32 Thoughts podcast, about the San Jose Sharks potentially leaning towards drafting Anton Frondell. It got me thinking, we hadn't yet written about him as a draft target for the Sharks.

The San Jose Sharks are going to make some changes this summer, and one of their biggest needs might be bringing in a backup goaltender as Yaroslav Askarov takes over as the starting netminder for the 2025-26 campaign.

Another day, another San Jose Sharks draft target with the 2025 NHL Draft only four days away. The Sharks have a very important draft coming up, if they can do well with their first three picks, it could change their organization's future drastically. GM Mike Grier has been preparing for this summer since last year. The expectation was that they would finish lower in the standings and this off-season would be arguably bigger. It started to become more of a reality as the season went on.
