They've been to the conference finals twice in the last 5 years, and were a couple bounces away from beating LA and likely advancing there again last year. Thornton and Marleau are still productive, Pavelski and Vlasic are still in their primes, and Couture is just entering his and still likely to get better. They have some other good young pieces. Instead of trying to force out their captain I think they would have been better off making roster tweaks and making another run at it this year.
They might still. Joe seems to like it there and might not be all that bothered. It just seems like a counter productive move to enter training camp with this side show.
