Kevin Kurz of The Athletic San Jose: Again, the Joe Thornton mindset is important here. There’s a little on what he is feeling now.
“I feel great. As the season goes on I always feel like I’m getting better and better, so that’s a good sign,” Thornton said. “Like I said, I don’t feel like this is my last year or anything like that. I feel like I can keep going and keep contributing. That’s where my mind is at right now.”
There is truth to this. Thornton plays better as the season goes along and the idea of several teams wanting his services intrigues him.
