They made a better move here as Roy > Domi. Sabres signed Teppo Nummimen as well. He's getting older, but he can still play, He's now the Sabres #1 dman... and VEL...cant really blame the B's for wanting to get Thorton long term. Although Thorton doesnt seem to be bitting. If the B's choke this year, and don't look good for the playoffs, watch for them to trade Thorton, as im sure he'll be testing the FA market next season.

Everyone expected him to be delt now, but doesn't seem to be happening.

I think if they get some bodies around him, which they seem to be doing, all should be fine.
