San Jose Sharks GM Doug Wilson has had talks with Joe Thornton, Dan Boyle and Patrick Marleau, who are all in the last year of their contracts. Of course, Wilson wouldn't disclose the nature of those talks or whether they've been positive or negative. Wilson said the team will continue to talk with the reps for all three players moving forward, but we would be surprised if anything got done before the season. More likely the veteran trio will have to play out their deals before revisiting talks either during or after the season.
