Holy Crap... Grats San Jose on getting another Thornton!!!

You just got one of the premier forwards in the NHL. He's big and skilled and a genuine franchise player. At 26 he is young enough to provide a focal point for the team for a while if you can keep him happy and signed (which even Boston was able to do, so it shouldn't be too tough
).

I can't believe Boston would trade him away like this. I'm not going to say they didn't get value in Stuart, Primeau and Sturm but this is a huge shock.
