Sharks Acquire Joe Thornton
November 30, 2005
Sharks Executive Vice President and General Manager Doug Wilson pulled off maybe the biggest trade in Sharks history Wednesday night when he acquired perennial All-Star center Joe Thornton from the Boston Bruins. The transaction came with a price as San Jose moved wingers Marco Sturm and Wayne Primeau, along with defenseman Brad Stuart. However when all is said and done, the best player landed in the Bay Area.
Thornton, the first overall pick in the 1997 NHL Entry Draft, selected just before his current teammate Patrick Marleau, has played in the past three NHL All-Star games and was named to the NHL Second All-Star Team in 2003.

well, since the fans are what bring the money into the team, if they rant and rave about a player, as they have been doing about Throrton, the team will respond. There is always a scapegoat, and in this case, Thorton was it. The fans have blamed him for the bad season thus far, now, he is gone. I am not blaming ALL Boston fans, but the vocal ones are who get heard.

The trade is already paying off for Boston thus far. First goal was scored by a new player and the second was assisted by two of em.
