Longtime veteran center «Jumbo» Joe Thornton signed with the Florida Panthers on Friday to the league minimum on a one-year deal. Although his play style seems like a great fit for the Panthers, his beard on the other hand may not.

The 42-year-old is uncertain if his legendary beard can survive the heat and humidity of the state of Florida.



Thornton has been one of the most productive players in NHL history, as he is 14th in career points, and is just 5 points from being 12th overall. He is also seventh in career assists with 1,104 in 1,680 games.
