Might make sense if a trade cannot happen for Duchene or Johnson. I'm not sure the Isles would be on Thornton's radar though?

Have to think Isles will add salary via trade and not FA signing this offseason? Have to think it will be lower level FA signings.

Stupid article. There's an excuse for everything and this orginization and everyone who writes about it has used them all. They even invented a few along the way that I never knew possible. From the fan base to the writers, GM, coaches, players does anyone get sick of this shat? Can't fire him then, now, during season, when did you see that happen? Blah blah blah blah it's all bullshat. When is enough enough?

Whatever. Tavares got what he wanted which is an inexperienced coach and a garbage GM. If he's not happy (frank) him. If he's not smart enough to realize that management has done nothing but stunt this teams success then we're better off without him when it comes down to it. I honestly can care less if he re signs.

Stupid article

It was and especially running down someone like Tallon.

I do not in any way expect this to happen, but if the Sharks are ready to move on from Thornton...I wonder if he wouldn't be a good UFA signing for a year or two.

At his age after an MCL &ACL tear I think I'll pass.

If were at a reasonable cap hit for a year or two I'd be fine with the risk. Otherwise, yeah I'd also pass.

So this leaves Snow. And with the alleged massive contract that he has (thanks to Charles Wang), the owners felt they could only justify his firing by bringing in another big name to take his place

I was unaware that snow was a big name, that alone discredited the whole article

So much to pick apart in that article. The best was going after Tallon. Garth wishes he was Tallon.

could a JT trade turn out like the lindros trade did for quebec/CO?

worth investigating even if you opt to not do it

He will go well with our team once we dump the salaries of Nash, Step, and Staal.

He comes in a package deal with Snow and Weight. Apparently they are the only people he can work with.
