dudacek Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Wishing strongly it was Kyrou, not Thompson. Not a huge fan, but he certainly addresses a need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 (edited) Wishing strongly it was Kyrou, not Thompson. Not a huge fan, but he certainly addresses a need. really? What need? He's a lumbering center who shoots right. He does nothing we need. Botterill's love of ushl players at work.

TrueBlueGED Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 really? What need? A need for more maybes and bad contracts, duh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryl Shannon's +/- Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 As upset as botterill was, something had to give. This is now jack and dahlins team, there is more depth and salary cap flexibility. And we won't have to watch 90 sleepwalk through 40 games and drone on about needing to be better ever again. Stitch the C on 15, and start scouting for our 3 first rounders next year. And also probably get ready to trade a dman or two. This is fun.

TrueBlueGED Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 (edited) The need for ROR to do what he does and marshal his team directly to last place. And if we finish in last place again? Or the Blues are great? Does the locker room nonsense go away? Besides, know who else marshaled the team to last place, if we want to frame it that way? Eichel, Reinhart, Risto, et al.

Brawndo Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Per Brendan Klak Thompson was not one of their Top 5 Prospects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, we probably had 3 open wing spots for them to fill :lol: It's not like Tavares went to Toronto or anything... I hate you. Everything is your fault.

ubkev Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 I didn't believe in Thompson at the draft and I don't now. Thompson wore a beautiful 3 piece suit at the draft. It's a yes from me, dawg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rasmus_ Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 I cannot stand the Berglund and Sobotka part to this. I think one is enough, but two...asinine. That should have been a secondary young piece (Toropchenko or someone in the secondary end of their pool). The 2nd in 2020 is also a bit terrible. I like the 1st and Thompson part, but to be fair the contracts we had to take back are frustrating. Overall, this had to happen at this stage. I hope we can get one of these forwards out of here.

I don’t know that anyone has. Berglund and Sobotka make up two thirds of the third line. Thompson pushes for a spot with Jack or Casey. Depth chart looks something like...? Reinhart Eichel Sheary Okposo Mittelstadt Girgensons Pominville Berglund Sobotka Baptiste Larsson Wilson That’s not fast... Jason, Jason...

mjd1001 Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 I like the trade. The 2nd pick in 2021 though? We MIGHT see that player on the ice in 2024 or 2025...its probably better used as a chip in a trade. Berglund is a Swede. JBot has something for Swedes. He's awful at faceoffs, but should be good enough to fill in at the #2 center spot until/if Mittlestadt is ready. I like the idea of having 3 first round picks next year...AND without ROR....Eichel getting more ice time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
