LOL. Where the hell did you come up with that stupid idea?

No, they released Stewart Thiessen because he sucks. The guy had a great personality and he was very nice, but he made many mistakes on the blueline.

Plus we had too many defenseman to begin with. Once Meszaros and Fistric come back, we would've had 10 healthy defenseman if we kept Thiessen. So we had to dump him. That is how it works.
