Trouble in the Sharktank Jumbo Joe versus DW

[number9 3,297]

If they REALLY wanted to trade him they could probably scratch him indefinitely and force his hand (if he really wants to keep playing). However that probably puts them in the position of trading him for cheap, with other teams knowing the situation. So I guess just hold on to him despite how badly they've fudged this up?

Look, I'm talking about the optics and they would be devastating..let's assume they scratch him and really piss the guy of what's the smash thing to do? Yes tell DW to shut up plus provide them with a list of two teams that would be acceptable which means Thornton would leave for basically nothing and no upcoming ufa would want to sign there.

In terms of money well I've read that they could need more and better scouts.

I never argued that, I agree it would make them look horrible. I said back when they stripped him of the C that SJ looked bad since they JUST signed him to an extension.

I was just saying they could.

Doug Wilson just held court with reporters, said he and Joe Thornton patched things up and #SJSharks center isn't going anywhere next year.

Well he's not a Bruins beat reporter, so you probably won't know him...

Fine, so you'll have other stuff to do instead of wasting my time nice.

"He and I have not only a contractual agreement, but a handshake agreement," Wilson said. "As I say, our relationship is extremely strong. I know Joe. I appreciate him. I've known him since the world juniors. I care about him a lot. He knows how I feel about him. I was actually complimenting him and supporting him when I was talking to our season-ticket holders."

Thornton told the San Jose Mercury News last week that Wilson was lying and suggested that he shut his mouth. After that, the two hashed things out with what Wilson described was a brief phone call.

"He called shortly after, later that day, and we had a great conversation. He said all the things that I needed to hear," Wilson said. "He and I are at a great place, we're focused on the game upcoming tonight, which is a big game for us. It's one of those things that just happens, but he's a good man."

The relationship between Wilson and Thornton has had some rocky moments, a fact that even Wilson alluded to, though he said the pair have worked things out.

"He and I have had many colorful and creative conversations because we care so much. It's just one of those situations, but we moved on probably two minutes after he called me. That's where we're at," Wilson said.
