Bruins enforcer Thornton signs two-year extension
The Boston Bruins signed forward Shawn Thornton to a two-year contract extension, the team said Friday.
The team did not release financial terms.
Thornton, 32, had a goal, nine assists and a career-high 141 penalty minutes in 74 games in 2009-10, his third season with the Bruins. He could have become a free agent on July 1.
Thornton’s 21 fighting majors led the team and tied for fifth in the NHL.
• Ice Edge Holdings has exclusive rights, with some conditions, to negotiate a lease agreement for the Phoenix Coyotes with the city of Glendale, Ariz., under a memorandum of understanding to be presented to the city council next week.
Ice Edge, a group of mostly Canadian investors, would have exclusive negotiating rights for 60 days unless another potential buyer gives $25 million to the city to cover its obligations to the NHL.
