Thoughts?
McGuire is talking out of his ass as usual.
Chicago was a single game away from winning another cup this year, they don't need an overpriced, soft center.
Peanut head McGuire with Melnick on Montreal radio this afternoon, mentioned that Joe has waived his no trade clause. Pierre mentioned that there are "small" rumblings from the SJ camp that CHI could be a destination. CHI hasn't put out any feelers on Joe according to Pierre. He would look great as a #2 center behind Toews. It sounds like Joe is moving out of SJ by summer's end. Or at least that's the feeling I got listening to this interview.
Does this mean the end of the sharks? There was no discussion on players involved in a deal like this. Your thoughts?
Hockey Pools? Too many to mention. Points only, salary cap and dynasty.

I can't see Chicago going after him, or the Sharks trading him within the conference. I like the Leafs as a potential destination

I'd love to have him on the Hawks, but man they'd have to be careful. I don't think I'd like any deal if it involved Teravainen, but I don't know how else the Hawks get him. Sharp for Thornton I might not hate since they have a bit more wing depth, but I would hate to see Sharp go.

I can't imagine what CHI has that they're willing to give up in this deal. Guys like McNeill and Clendening don't seem like enough and I doubt they'd move Teravainen. Maybe SJ can finally get Hjalmarsson after that whole offer sheet fiasco
Is Teravainen that special that you wouldnt want arguably the best assist man in the NHL?? Thornton would be the best #2 centerman in the league..

How about Tampa as a setup man for Stamkos? Tampa has a whackload of prospects. Couldn't they trade three or four of them without batting an eye?
IE- 19th overall, Vasilevsky, and Namestnkov for Thornton (if they want a roster player, that's doable as well).
This would also allow Drouin to get time on the #2 or #3 line so he's not rushed onto the top line. Make Bishop/Gudavskis your tandem for the next five years so you don't need to worry about losing Vasilevsky. They still have Kucherov and other good prospects.
If there's even a small bit of chemistry between Thornton and Stamkos, Stammer can lock up the next three Rocket Richard trophies.

If you do a search, the only information out there is a statement from his brother that he would be willing to waive his no trade clause if the fans don't want him there anymore. To me that needs to be taken with a grain of salt, but it opens up the door to him potentially moving.
The only way this trade gets made is if Sharp is going back to San Jose. The Hawks already have some salary trimming to do in 15-16 when Toews and Kane resign. Something like Sharp/Leddy/pick for Thornton. Yeah- I do that.

I feel like Tampa would be a good fit for him, but I don’t know if he goes there. I can’t see Joe pulling an Iginla, saying he wants to play with a player (Crosby). More of a he wants to play for a team.
Nonis just came out and said they are looking to move up in the draft, so the 8th overall and another top player is out of the question to acquire Jumbo Joe (until past the top 5 picks are done in the draft).
The players that were mentioned earlier in the offseason that were untouchable were Kessel, Bernier, Reilly, and Bozak. So JvR, Kadri, Dion, Gardiner, Franson, Reimer, Bolland, Holland, Lupul, and Kuli are all up to be involved in a trade. Dion be involved in the Thorton trade, SJ is deep at center too. So JvR would have to be the main piece of the Thorton trade.
If JvR is traded, I’ll be stupid upset as a Leaf Fan. He’s arguably been the most improved Leaf over the last 2 yrs.
