I am happy we didn't sign Thorton. I am on record as saying it would have been nice to have him but with about $10M in cap space, to pay over 60% of that space to a guy who is coming off surgery and on the wrong side of 35 would be a mistake. It's going to be a mistake for the Sharks. Glad it...
I wouldn't mind Bonino but he went to Nashville. I think Joe as a 2C between Pearson and Toffoli could work, he could create plays for them. Plus we take him away from a division rival.
That said I do agree that the risk with his age and injuries are there but given what is out there.....
Somewhat surprised, considering what is available and that a player like McNabb can easily be found on the open market. Would have thought Vegas takes Lewis and builds around him, perhaps even given the C.
The biggest drawback is the cost and the fact he is a UFA after this year. Plus Toffoli needs a new contract, so to fit both Kane and Toffoli under the cap without moving some major cash would be difficult.
