December 1, 200520 yr According to a report on Canada's TSN, the Bruins have traded captain Joe Thornton (right) to the Sharks for Wayne Primeau, Brad Stuart and Marco Sturm.
December 1, 200520 yr Well, they need defense. But that doesn't seem like enough for one of the best players in the league.
December 1, 200520 yr Congrats, Mr O'Connell. A 1st class example of how to give up your franchise player for next to nothing.. ..does this mean Zhamnov is now their top center?
December 1, 200520 yr Author I think that's part of it. They also need to "shake up" the team, so this is how they've gone about doing so.
December 1, 200520 yr There was a lot of question concerning Thornton right after the lockout ended about being with Boston at all. Both SJC and BOS needed a shakeup - and they both got it. I also think that BOS is clearing cap space to make a bigger trade closer to the deadline if they can get back in the eastern conference race. How 'bout those Rangers?
