While other teams have to worry about the perfect length of contract for aging players that almost always burn them, Thornton just says "Yeah, we'll just check in at the end of each year and see if it makes sense for me to play another year....oh and just give me whatever cap you have left over after making the team the best you can make it".

It is ideal and very rare. Joe can still put up some points and play. Unlike many others that play power forward and body breaks down. Then they cannot score or skate or even check on a 4th line.
I can’t think of too many that could fit in the same category of still can play and is super loyal to their team.
