Thorton is a highly skilled player even though he turn 38 years of age next week.Thornton has various relationships with members of the Kings front office.

Rosen touched on some of those relationships in his article on lakingjsinsider.com. Below is excerpt from his article. You can read the full article here.

“On top of Thornton’s abilities are his relationships with key figures in Los Angeles’ front office. He played with Kings General Manager Rob Blake in San Jose, while Senior Advisor to the General Manager/Development Mike O’Connell was Thornton’s general manager when he played in Boston. On top of these relationships, Thornton also remains very close with Glen Murray, a figure in Los Angeles’ player development, and I’m told the two, who played together with the Bruins for three and a half seasons, regularly communicate.“
