I know they just signed extensions, but I think Thornton/Marleau need to move on for some of the the same reason Iginla/Regehr et al, needed to move on. Even if they are still good, and them moving makes you worse for a while, you need to mentally move on to the next generation or otherwise it will always be their team. The Sharks have a solid team without those two already, and need to make that leap to the next generation more obvious.
