I would agree with you on one point. But, disagree on another.

1. Yes. Jumbo is still a productive player and will be a get sourse of assists and points.

but.....

2. THAT is precisely why I WOULD trade him. He could fetch a great haul back. If you wait too long his value will fall off a cliff. He only has another 2-3 productive years left.

It is better to trade him a year or so early and grab the best you can than to trade hima year or two too late and get nothing or next to nothing for him. There is a lot of emotion tied to players like Jumbo but from a hockey standpoint you MUST turn your tradeable assets into blue chip prospects and picks.....or once Thornton is done in the next couple of years....there will be little in place to surplant him.

Or we can let Thornton and marleau play out their careers as Sharks, get nothing in return for them, be one of the worst teams in the league for 5-10 years, and stock up on top 5 overall draft picks. Seems to be the best way to rebuild these days

I'm willing to bet $1000 they won't

I'll take that bet. And since the Vegas odds of the Sharks winning are 55/1 I'll give you a full $18 if you win, which you won't... because the Sharks will win.

how did it feel to get your little duck ass handed to you in the playoffs?

Seriously, how old are you? 13, 14? At least we made it to the Western Conference Finals and I would hardly call it getting our asses handed to us, since we took it game 7. Oh, and then we have Toews stating that that was a harder fought series than the SCF.

PS - You don't have to answer every post on the thread.

And true that was. Ducks and Hawks were the best of the playoff teams this past year. Ducks will be a handful this year too! Damn Ducks!
