JOE THORNTON - Center - 40 - $2.00MM Cap Hit - UFA in 2020-2021
LAST UPDATED 9/19/19
One of the most prolific playmakers of the 21st century, Joe Thornton just keeps on plugging away. Sure, age has gotten to him, as he's no longer nearly as agile, durable, or quick as he once was. That being said, his trademark size is still there, and his puck skills, playmaking instincts, and overall strength as a passer remains. Thornton is an expert at taking advantage of open areas of the ice to create plays for his teammates, and he doesn't need elite speed to produce offense. That being said, his lack of speed is an issue, and he's far more productive on the power play than on the rush. He's still a 50 point threat, though. Defensively, he's regressed, but he still has the size and hockey IQ to make an impact. Despite his age he's still a fine 2C or high-end 3C at the NHL level.
