B's, now over cap technically, may get creative

Soft player, especially for a guy his size.

Ya, he fell into that extremely average category after his rookie season. Your right though at that size he better be doing one of two things scoring lots of goals and if not bangin bodies left, right and center.

$2.2 seems like a lot for him.

Except he plays like Big Joe in the playoffs year round.

Of all the luck, the B's find themselves stuck with another Thornton. If Joe keeps this up, hockey fans will associate his name with underachieving forever. As in, "the guy had a good year going then he went all Thornton towards the end" or "scout report: Thornton-type player, plays well when it doesn't matter, disappears when it does."

So instead of being overpaid to play in the NHL they are going to overpay someone to play in the NHL. I should have practiced harder as a kid. LOL

I mean overpay someone to play in the AHL.

He should know better. I'm really surprised that this dribble is still being thrown out there. Everyone knows that injured players don't count against the cap until they are cleared to play.

I do like him as a writer though.

A man on the move, for shore - got surf-king tatooed on his... mayhaps he still misses his cage - heard that he nicknamed it... Nick.

I'm almost certain however, that he would literally JUMP at the chance to go to TO-ON and rejoinder himself with Lil' Phil. Man his plus/minus tanked from +36 to -4 or something, after the Kessel-vessel sailed.
