Thornton will thrive in San Jose since there isn't that intense pressure on him game in and game out so he can go out there and just play. Besides he was never going to win over the Boston faithful since Boston management compared him to former Boston greats from the get go when he was drafted which didn't do the kid any favours at the time.
