Re: The Official 2005-2006 NHL Season thread
Ooohhhh..... I feel like I've been kicked square in the nuts. I can't believe this trade. In my mind, there were two possible scenarios-
1. Trade Hannu/Sammy/draft pick for a character player, give the Captain to either the new player or Leech. Thornton is one of the best players in the league but a crappy captain. Give him space to just play.
2. Trade Thornton in blockbuster fashion for another quality center and a tier-one defenseman.
I can't believe what they got in return for Thornton. Stuart is a quality defenseman and Sturm is decent, Primeau was a throw-in, but the three of them combined do not add up to a franchise player. Boston fans got raped with a dick big enough for an elephant to feel.
My only hope is there's another trade pending for a top center, because there it no longer one on the Bruins. If MOC thinks Zhamnov is going to step in, he's a bigger idiot than even I imagined.
Should be an interesting game tonight.
