I disagree. This team won 109 points this year. Second in the Western Conference and had a real chance to win the President's Trophy. In the playoffs, they dismantled Jumbo Joe and the Sharks with their only loss coming in double OT. The next series we ran into a buzz saw of a team that is playing by far the best hockey of any team in the league, and they destroyed us. I don't think it's time to panic and overpay for a 1C. Even if we do, there are quite a few others I would prefer over Thorton.
