Confirmed Signing with Link: [FLA] Joe Thornton signs with the Panthers (1 year, $750k)

[Menzinger]

He's fine in a sheltered depth role for probably 30 points of he gets a bit of 2nd unit pp.

 

[Mogo]

Damn there a lot bitter Leafs fans

 

[Mogo]

Yeah but Jagr was still a 1st line player. Thornton definitely is not, most likely 4th line. Whatever, I'm fine with it. Maybe he goes beast mode in the playoffs, if Q keeps him fresh throughout the year and doesn't ride him like Seabiscuit.

I was just talking about his age. Nothing else

 

[Manhattan]

Hard to believe he's only 61 in that picture

Comment of 2021.
Well done.

 

[tarheelhockey]

This virtually guarantees that Thornton will pass Coffey and Recchi for 12th in points, and he has a shot for passing Coffey for 6th in assists.

The players ahead of him in those categories are worthy. This is as it should be.

 

[Langdon Alger]

He is a POS
I hope FLA doesn't win a game until they cut his a$$

What makes him a POS?

 

[Langdon Alger]

his attempt to end Perron's career coming out of the penalty box cause a ref had the nerve to give him a penalty

Dale Hunter level d-bag

You're kind of dramatic.

Attempt to end his career? Sheesh.

Sign random no-name to league minimum who will hardly ever play and realistically contribute nothing vs sign we’ll-respected veteran to league minimum. Even if he hardly contributes we already have our starting 12. For the minimum it’ll be good for the kids to have him around. Q as the coach, luongo in the org, Thornton in the dressing room. No downside to it. Cool that he actually wanted to come here. Speaks volumes to how we’re viewed these days

All old folks go to Florida. A lively retirement community down there. Joe Thornton will fit right in.

He had better bring his A+ game for cribbage and bingo.

This..is Frank Costanza...

 

[Leaf Fans]

Good for him! I hope he does well there.

Silly me. How could I forget shuffleboard?

 

[Kuljeskelen]

He might be bad, but not 9th line bad. Massive overreaction here. It's 1 year, 750k. Sheeeesh.

 

[Jwads]

I've never wanted a team to win a cup more than I do the Panthers this year.

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

Something about old people and Florida.

You’d think you clowns could come up with better material.

Clearly escaping the covidiots.

Sharks, Leafs, Panthers.... The guy really doesn't want to win a playoff series, does he ?

 

[HabsQC]

I've never wanted a team to win a cup more than I do the Panthers this year.

I just want them to beat the Leafs in the 1st round.

 

[George Clooney]

Im sure the birds in his nest of a beard will appreciate the weather. Rip panthers fans, no cup for you. Thats his intangible.

good one. Didn’t the Habs just get rekt in the finals? Good luck even making the playoffs this season now that you have to play real teams

 

[Pavelski2112]

Because the Sharks never won a series with Jumbo on the team

lol

 

[Panteras]

There’s so many comedians here. Such funny original material.

 

[Holy Slapshot]

Did you not see what we were paying Yandle? 750k is nothing lmao.

Unfortunately I also know what we are paying Yandle. For two or three of these nothings you can pay some passable player instead.
