I'm not totally surprised they sent Thompson down

He's really poised and confident with the puck on his stick in transition and in the offensive zone but he's made some debilitatingly bad passes short of his target in the D zone that have resulted in turnovers in vulnerable situations and have caused the team to get hemmed in unnecessarily

He's only 22 years old, there's nothing wrong with letting him play big minutes on a really good AHL team and use this opportunity to iron out some details in his game

It's disappointing that Thompson has been sent down. He's easily been one of the top-6 defensemen on the team.

Clearly Warsofsky has some criteria that doesn't match our criteria

He doesn't make big of mistakes so he is not needing to skate all out to recover from said mistakes. So his effort is obviously not good enough.

When Thompson got that late penalty in the Jumbo game I figured he'd get scratched for this game, I wasn't expecting him to get demoted.

Yes, he’s secretly a long lost Sutter brother

I think it was inevitable when it became clear Vlasic was ready to return.

Indeed Vlasic should help with the tank right away.

Is Vlasic making his season debut tonight? I thought he wasn't close to being ready.

Don't know, but they wouldn't just send down a D man if there wasn't someone else ready to go.Nico needed to be activated.

Just read an article saying he could be ready on the upcoming road trip and that he has been skating with the team.
