Toronto Maple Leafs forward Joe Thornton hasn't yet made up his mind on if he'll play a 24th NHL season.
"This came so sudden, I really haven't had time to think about it," Thornton said Wednesday, according to Sportsnet. "First and foremost, I have to be a dad for a little bit here. But I feel really, really healthy. I feel really, really good."
Thornton's campaign ended Monday after Toronto squandered a 3-1 series lead to the Montreal Canadiens.
The 41-year-old signed a one-year, $700,000 contract with the Leafs last offseason. He notched 20 points in 44 regular-season games and added one goal in the playoffs.
Thornton's inked one-year deals in each of the past four years. The future Hall of Famer is still chasing his first Stanley Cup.
