Meh, not really a big signing. We'll see how much of a difference he makes in LA.

No way in hell Scott Thornton is worth $1.5 million. The only reason he should be payed more than league minimum is the fact that a small percentage of his DNA is identical to his cousin's.

Agreed

Thornton is worth the league minimum

He is much too slow for the new nhl

Bad move for the Kings

I actually think this wil work out for LA. Thornton is a grinder type and plays with heart. I actually thought he would be a perfect fit on the third line with the Canucks. Not a great skater, but he does the little things right. He will make La's third or fourth line better.

How the hell does Scotty.T make $1.5 million? He doesn't even produce much in the NHL. As Phish stated, he only deserves more because he's related to Joey. To be completly harsh and honest, I beleive Scott only made the NHL because of his cousin.

This is a waste of money for L.A and I feel sorry for them.
