I think both of those guys are just getting older. I always think of Pavelski as being the next wave of players for the Sharks, but he's 34 now. The Sharks are probably just trying to make a run while they still have scoring depth playing to a reasonable level. This could be a thank you to Thornton to give him one last shot at the cup too.
