It's not that his teammates wouldn't be good elsewhere without him, but the Sharks sure as hell wouldn't be anywhere without Thornton, and that's why I think he's more valuable than Lecavalier. Albeit without Vinny, TB stinks too but they wouldn't worsen as much as the Sharks would without Thornton.

Huh? The Sharks have Patrick Marleau, and a ton of terrific young players who could fill in for Marleau on the 2nd line.
The Lightning's second line center would probably have to be Vaclav Prospal or Chris Gratton, who hasn't been a second line center in 10 years. They have no depth at any position already.
Which lineup would you rather have?
Michalek-Marleau-Cheechoo
Clowe-Pavelski-Bernier
or
Prospal-Richards-St. Louis
Perrin-Gratton-J. Ward
hmmmm

where in my post did I ever say SJ would be worse than TB? they wouldn't be as good as they were with thornton, but they'd still be miles ahead of tampa if they both lost their stars
