ForsbergTheGreat Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Trade thorton and Marleau and they can get some huge pieces back for the retool/rebuild. Thorton to TO although If i'm TO I got after Erik Staal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejazz97 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Jets fans are the tops. When they had the "Crosby's better" chant going that one night, my friend was wearing a Ovechkin jersey in the same section as the guy that started it. Kind of funny that like two games later, Crosby comes in and lights the Jets up. They still have great fans, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avelanch Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Both have NMC, and both have stated they don't want to be traded. i have a feeling that sentiment may have changed this season... and it couldn't hurt to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winter Soldier Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 You mean Thornton right? Or was Marleau also the captain at some point? Patty was captain before Jumbo Joe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neversummer Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 McLellan to Toronto in the summer ... first to call it. Thorton to TO although If i'm TO I got after Erik Staal Hmmm ... didn't think of that option. So either one goes to TO. Actually McLellan is a class coach, always conduct himself with respect. Wilson is the gong show. So if Toronto wants a classy coach, that would be a good option. Why would he go, if he is let go from SJ, and if they throw enough $$ at him.

Honky Cat Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 A couple of years ago,we were all looking at the Sharks as the model franchise for retooling on the fly....They dispatched us with relative ease a couple of years ago in the playoffs...I don't know what went wrong this season,but I still think that the Sharks are a good team...There's just too much skill and character in the Sharks lineup IMO,so I'll put his down to an anomaly year,much like the Canucks had last year. The fans and media will want their pound of flesh ,and someone will have to pay the price..It will most likely be Todd McClellan,if only to get a different voice in the room (much like AV,he's a very respected coach and will immediately be hired elsewhere and flourish)..

Guest Dasein Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Thornton is not going anywhere until he sees that Doug Wilson is out of a job IMO Big Joe has the highest job security among coach, GM and player with his no-move, and he will definitely not be doing any favours for Wilson by waiving it As soon as the off-season rolls in, Wilson's head goes rolling, then Big Joe okays a trade out for the new GM or he stays put and tries the make right in San Jose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neversummer Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Yah ... as for Thornton, would you like a Cam Neely chance to win a cup or would you prefer to go into oblivion living the good life in sunny Cali? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangelos Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Trade thorton and Marleau and they can get some huge pieces back for the retool/rebuild. At 36 years old they're not bringing much of anything back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thornton's presence on the team is (intentionally or unintentionally) going to engineer the firings of McLellan/Wilson during this offseason. You're probably looking at Dan Bylsma to be hired as replacement. Still, unless the fans riot Thornton's home, it's unlikely that he'll want to leave a place that he's been there for so long and uproot the family out. That being said, the same could've been said about Kesler - though it's probable that there were some other pieces (off-ice issues) in play. Maybe the wife wanted to leave like Pronger's wife? Nobody knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboose Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Joe Thornton won't be slowing down any time soon. He doesn't rely on speed at all, just on his size and being one of the best passers in the game. I think he'll play into his 40s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theminister Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 McLellan to Toronto in the summer ... first to call it. Hardly…. people have been suggesting this for quite some time. It doesn't seem like Joe wants to go anywhere and neither does Marleau. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 McLellan to Toronto in the summer ... first to call it. Ugh, I hope he's not dumb enough to take that job. I know coaches want to coach, but I'm sure Dallas Eakins wishes he had a do-over on taking over the Oilers. Also makes me hope that Babcock isn't dumb enough to leave the Red Wings for the "Concrete Penis" of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightHawkSniper Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 No way Thornton's gonna be around after this offseason. Just a question of what would you get for a 36 year-old (July 2nd) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFCanuck Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 They probably don't want to make the playoffs. Don't want to blow another 3-0 series lead and be the joke of the league again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CALGARY! Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Having a quick look at the standings today, I would say SJ is basically eliminated, not mathematically but realistically. They need 5 points to catch Calgary and LA, and have a much tougher schedule coming up and a lower ROW. I dont think anyone who isnt top 9 in the west right now has a shot anymore, unless TWO of Calgary/Vancouver/Winnipeg or LA goes on a complete turd of a losing streak. It will be different not seeing the teal sweaters in the first round or two(or three of playoffs) for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
