This makes me sad.

 

[Clowes Line]

What. The. ****ity. ****.

 

[Kershaw]

Huge fan of this.

 

[Kane One]

It's not a rumor anymore.

Canadiens Montréal @CanadiensMTL
Canadiens acquire right winger Christian Thomas from the New York Rangers in return for Danny Kristo.

 

[silverfish]

This makes no sense to me. wth

 

[Tawnos]

Same basic player, slightly bigger, slightly older?

 

[Jarkko Immonen]

Don't know anything about Kristo, but was really falling in love with Thomas' play, especially his hard shot, towards the end of last season.

 

[ecemleafs]

canadiens tweet this?

 

[Rangers79]

Aren't they practically the same player? I know Kristo has a ton of upside, think he has played for team USA before.

From official Rangers page. No rumor

 

[slipknottin]

So much for all the people predicting Thomas makes the rangers next season. Lol

Kristo has much better size than Thomas, and is a better skater

He's a USA guy, played on gold medal winning team with Kreider/Step

Mixed feelings here

 

[Whiplash27]

Habs fans are upset, that's all I know.

 

[Clowes Line]

It's obvious the Rangers weren't happy with the fact that Thomas wasn't developing into the ginger they were hoping for.

 

[MonkeyBusiness]

Habs board pretty much had the same reaction, most of us really liked Kristo. What kind of player is Thomas?

 

[silverfish]

McIlrath

 

[ecemleafs]

i hated kristo at the 2010 wjc cuz he tried dangling everything. i imagine hes improved a lot on the team aspect of hockey in the years since at NoDak though.

 

[SingnBluesOnBroadway]

Another NCAA kid. World Juniors teammates with Stepan, Kreider and Bourque.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

ummm.. whats the point of this? is he a legit NHler? dont know much about him.

 

[Kershaw]

Kristo 5g 3a in 2010 WJC.

 

[Coldplay]

So we're upset and you're upset.

Great deal it seems.

Undersized. Has an amazing one-timer. Was really looking forward to him getting a shot on the Rangers PP soon.

 

[mike14]

I have no knowledge of Kristo so I can't be upset, but I was enjoying Thomas' progress as a Ranger prospect.

Hopefully this turns out for the good.

Are there any scouting reports out there?

Hey there is nothing wrong with people with red hair
