Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun: The San Jose Sharks season is a writeoff and the “For Sale” sign is up. Defenseman Brenden Dillon is expected to be traded and there will be teams keeping an eye on Joe Thornton. Thornton carries a no-movement clause, but does he want a shot at the cup? The Colorado Avalanche and Boston Bruins could be good fits.
The New Jersey Devils could try to move pending UFAs in Wayne Simmonds, Kevin Rooney, Andy Greene and Louis Domingue.
