don't think you're get that much for Kessel. Maybe 2 players and a 2nd or 3rd. At 30 years old you're not getting a first for him anymore.

At 30 yrs old ... Thorton is 38. He's young in SJ years. He's also point machine and a play off performer. He IS depth scoring. I don't think a first will be an issue, especially from a play off team.

I do think I might be over asking on the 3rd. Braun I took to open cap space on SJ roster, but also because the other 2 are bottom 6 quality players a the moment. So I'm asking for 4th D, a 3rd C, and a good prospect with some NHL time, along with a mid to late 1st round pick for a top 10 player in the league who's making $6.8m when he should be making $8m ... And before the Crosby/Malkin factor gets brought up look at his points in TOR all the way back to BOS.
