North Buffalo Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Who is Tage Thompson? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Looks like those of us who said Botterill was more committed to moving on from ROR than he let on were right. No core pieces at all in that return. I think it's pretty obvious Botterill is planning on this being a longer term rebuild not meant to yield fruitful hockey until Mittelstadt and Dahlin mature. Ugh. I hate wasting more of Jack's prime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jahnyc Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 This is awful. Taking on long-term salary from under performers and not getting a true prospect back. JBot is in over his head and just wasted one of our only real assets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Thompson isn't a fast scoring winger and I don't want Berglund for 4 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 This is an embarrassment. Botterill got raked over the coals... And he paid the bonus? I guess it's lose for Hughs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTS Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 (edited) Like I said elsewhere.... If you think it's underwhelming then expect that ROR was a bigger problem than thought. I don't hate the trade. It just fattened up the offense and made others potentially expendable. It might not be top overall talent, but that's 3 forwards and 2 picks for the price of 1 forward. Oh, and... this is just day 1... Edited July 2, 2018 by LTS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudacek Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 (edited) Well, it certainly will address some of our depth issues. All three of those roster players are real NHLers. And it certainly changes the room. So, mission accomplished JBot, I guess...? ???? Edited July 2, 2018 by dudacek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 So far, every single person in twitter disagrees with these takes. Indeed. I’m torn because I’m not a believer in Tage Thompson, but the overall value of what they got is certainly significant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robviously Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 I called it though... This is more about culture. Yes. This pretty much confirms that ROR was a problem in the room. Tage Thompson is the right age to help us this year and to be part of the team for a while. Berglund is good short term help at C. Sobotka, who knows? Hopefully we flip either SJ or STL's 1st for more help in the near term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
