Barkov, Reinhart, Bennett, Lundell, Vatrano, Acciari, Luostarinen... Thats the C-depth on Florida. Thornton is probably beeing slotted in at 3-line LW or 4C occasionally. He wont be playing for more than max 50 games.

I swear to you. Leaf fans posted the same thing last year. 1104 career assists might keep him from being a penalty killer or a shut down line C.

We wouldn't sign him unless he understood he'd play in a limited role. Zito knows what he's doing.

Leafs fans:
We do not have shitty LW or C depth, which are the positions that Joe plays. There are very few players that he could realistically play in front of on our squad.
The reason he played 1LW at times for you is because you guys have trash LW depth. We don't.

I've heard this song before. Honestly. You're going to wish you never signed him because you can't give him a goon fighters' role and minutes. (9 min). Toronto had the forward depth. Toronto didn't need him to be on the top 6.

I love how FLA fans think that Thornton who was such a problem on TOR will obviously not be a problem in FLA.

It's almost as if Florida isn't Toronto
It's almost as if Toronto isn't San Jose.
I'm not trying to be argumentative. You should have seen TOR fans' rosters last year. They had Jumbo on the 4th line too!

At times meaning barely at all. He played the first dozen or so games on the first line then played in the bottom 6 where he'd have been a healthy scratch had he not been Joe Thornton.
I love how Leafs fans, you in particular, think that all coaches and GMs think alike. Like Zito and/or Q dont own a TV or have internet service, like they only watched Panthers games last season. You really think Q and Zito are on the same level as Keefe and Dubas? Worry about your own team. He is not going to take over anyone's spot in the top six. He isnt going to take over anyone's spot on PP1. He will get bottom six minutes, play PP2 from time to time, sit some, and be a veteran presence in the lockeroom.

Why are you under the impression the corpse of Joe Thornton had a lot of say in where in how he plays? I doubt there was much demand for his services.

His stats show he had 10 points in his first 10 games. What happened after that?

He was a passenger. Made a few nice passes but was getting easy points that any NHL player could get playing with two elite offensive players. Keefe was also using him on the PP and Thornton just has no business being on a PP anymore.
Love the “I’m not trying to be argumentative” while doing that exact thing just to be edgy lmao

In the pocket, not in talent silly one. Learn to win a round and we will do the same. Leaflettes of loss causes
