The Leafs need a number one centre someone to count on to win faceoffs as soon as they figure this out they will make the playoffs. This is where Joe Thorton comes into play. A good leader and yes he hasn't won a dam thing but he needs a change he was shocked to have his "C" stripped from him I am sure he will never forgive or forget for all that he has done for San Jose IMO both parties need to part. So what will it take for both teams to accomplish a culture change in which they both need bad
TML - Kadri, Lupul, Gardiner, 3rd pick
SJS - Thorton, Marleau
Salaries almost match and accomplishes culture change in both teams

Salaries might match up, but talent sure as hell doesn't. Just because the Sharks might want to shake things up, doesn't meat they should get rid of two of their best players for players who don't come close to matching them talent wise. If the Sharks move those two, it won't be for nothing.

I can't see either team making this trade right now. Maybe in the offseason, if SJS struggles.

To add to my post both players are aging 35+ and as per Sportsnet the Sharks are not working its a real mess why not get younger with promise yes its true the way it looks on paper the Leafs probably win this trade but please remember both players are aging and quickly the Leafs may need to add but not much

I'd rather have 2 seasons of the 35 year olds than undeveloped Kadri and 3 years of Glass Lupul. Plus Kadri would be the third line center on the Sharks. Not worth it for SJ.
