Thornton Demands to be Traded "Wherever Hossa Went!"

[RT14]

When Joe Thornton heard Hossa was traded, he wanted out immediately. Luckily for him the Jackets and Blues were able to come to an agreement for the 2nd time in one day. Hmm, I guess the world really is coming to an end.

May have been a slight hidden agenda involved with the deal as Blues GM Ryan was quoted as saying "I'm pretty sure Thornton and Hossa formed two thirds of my top line when my Sharks won the cup. There's long proven chemistry there and I'm sure they will perform their best for me."

To Clb:
Joffrey Lupul, 28y 68ov
2013 1st (conditional)

To St.L:
Joe Thornton, 32y 74ov

The condition on the first was necessary as MJK was scared crapless that Goffie was going to skin him alive if he couldn't pay up, so I take that responsibility on now, but made sure to only owe MJK, so if I can't pay he still owes Goffie.

Blues Updated Lineup
----Lucic (70) - Thornton (74) - Hossa (74)
McDonald (70) - Richards (73) - Bertuzzi (65)
----Blake (62) - Lapierre (62) - Adams (60)
Crombeen (57) - Gordon (62) - Jackman (59)

Hamhuis (72) - Coburn (69)
Schenn (66) - Morris (66)
Salo (66) - Sutton (63)
Wilson (63)

Backstrom (83)
Garon (75)

Hopefully this newly revamped roster can put some wins together....otherwise I'll just keep on tradin'!

Thanks again MJK

I paid a 1st to get Thornton, so I get Lupul for free I guess. I will take it and will continue to build off past trades while satisfying conditions to other teams.

Wicked top line

Good looking team RT14. Keep this up and you won't be watching me draft McKinnon with your pick

I think the Blues look way scarier now than the Jackets. This trade could make the Blues the team to beat in the Central.

what a different looking team than a year ago. Nice work
