Oh god don't me get started on the holy triumverate of Sinden, Jacobs and O'Connell...but I wouldn't say the Thornton trade killed them, what killed them was not realizing they had a number 2 center in Bergeron, and in turn signing Zhamnov to a 3 year 12m dollar deal. If that money was spent on real left wingers instead of McEachern, we could have had a decent set of lines:

Samsonov-Thornton-Murray
FA LW - Bergeron - Boyes

But instead they screwed it up and went with:
Samsonov-Thornton-Murray
McNothing-Shamnov-Bergie
Isbister-Scatch-Boyes

All while not adding anything to the defense, Leetch at 4m was a bigtime boneheaded move.
