I know. When he got traded it was oooooooo the sharks fleeced the bruins. Now its "wow I guess thats why the Bruins let him go so easy". I keep thinking Wilson was refering to Jumbo when he kept saying "There will be Big changes during the offseason."

Got to wonder. I would not mind seeing him go. I got to imagine there will be a few guys on the market. Those that dont move will likely be on the shortest rope imaginable.

No matter what happens in the playoffs, Sharks got the better end of the deal. I can see why they let him go for basically nothing, but without that trade, who knows where the Sharks would be right now.

I wouldn't mind seeing him go at all, and would rather see him go before Marleau. I think Marleau plays to his ability in the postseason, while Thornton has the potential to completely change the dynamics of the game, and doesn't. I also don't see Marleau keeping the C, which I don't think is a big deal for him at all, in fact he would probably rather NOT have the extra pressure.

That first overtime for the Wings/Ducks game was exciting. Refs kept their whistles in their pockets, but that is expected. I can't believe the Ducks are getting so outhit. Wings did prove my point to go high on Hiller though.
