Got offered Thornton + for Spezza+
League cats and current roster in my sig below.
It's his Thornton and Chara for my Spezza and Doughty.
I know Thornton is on the decline due to age. Doesn't even get EV1 mins anymore, I think that's Couture's line.
I figure Burns can't keep his pace up as a D-transitioned wing, and Hertl will slow down eventually. That means Thornton will also slow down. Sharks is really hot right now so Thornton is performing his utter best atm.
Chara's time on the PP1 in Boston seems gone, not the sole point-getting D man anymore. Shots isn't as much as they used to be.
Doughty isn't much better as a D option but he has more upside than Chara. Gets better peripherals in BLKS & HITS.
Spezza showed his dominance today after a slow start and will set to go 1+ PPG a season this year like I think he can. I'm high on him.
The only thing making me even consider this trade is that Spezza is a bandaid boy.
What does Dobber think?
IMO Spezza > Thorn, Doughty > Chara IF Spezza remains healthy
