    Thornton Situation Can't End Well

    Has an NHL team's decision to strip a player of the captaincy EVER had a positive outcome for the team and player alike? I am among those who are mystified by the San Jose Sharks' decision to extend Joe Thornton for three seasons and also remove the C from his sweater. Ditto the decision to remove the A from Patrick Marleau.

    Maybe the organization is trying to force Thornton and Marleau to request trades? It's obvious that neither player has had much success in terms of their ability to lead under pressure.

    Sharks did it to Marleau in the past and he stuck around…just more of the same for an organization which has what's needed on paper but can never make it in the playoffs
