January 2008
Sports Central

Excerpt: "But few players in history have the elite distinction of sharing a record with Wayne Gretzky and Super Mario. Fewer players drafted first overall were marketed as a franchise-player for seven years, then traded early in a season while leading their team in scoring. And only one has turned such a transaction into an Art Ross and Hart Memorial Trophy (top scorer and MVP, respectively) in a single season: Joe Thornton, 2005-2006."
