I dunno not a lot of love for Thornton, but I think if you consider the assists, PPP, +/- that he brings and how much they're actually above the standard deviation compared to what the average C produces, he's a very solid option...
I can understand in a 10 or 12 teamer with 2 C slots, C isn't all that important, but 4 x 16 teamer every advantage you can gain is very important.
If you went with Thornton at your heater pick then perhaps, Bertuzzi or LaRose at your Cervenka pick, might have worked out slightly better...
But to each their own.
