Macklin Celebrini's decision to live with Joe Thornton offers him an invaluable opportunity to learn from one of the NHL's most experienced veterans as he embarks on his career.
Celebrini remarked, "Living with him, I think it's the perfect situation for me coming into this year, because he pretty much dealt with the same thing a little while back." He emphasized the importance of learning from Thornton's experiences.
Auston Matthews expressed admiration for Celebrini's situation, saying, "I'm kind of jealous," highlighting the unique mentorship Thornton can provide to the young prospect.
Matthews recalled his own experience, describing life with Thornton: "Together we found a house... with an outdoor rink. Jumbo got the master, I was down in the basement."
