Tage Thompson is a future star

[dortt]

So yeah. Tage Thompson isnt a one year wonder. The contract doesnt look terrible. The O'Reilly trade isn't a total loss anymore.

Unbelievable for Sabres fans. Steal.

The ROR trade looks very very good for the Sabres now. Blues got the initial benefit, Sabres receiving the long term benefit

turned out the best it possibly could for both sides, really. You love to see it!

 

[Chainshot]

Seems the future is now.

Tonight's 3-3-6 performance he laid on the Wings ties Wayne Gretzky for most points in a game on Halloween.

 

[LevelingSolo]

I guess in the end of the day the trade ended up working out for both teams

 

[Sabre the Win]

I do this move in chel

 

[HabsQC]

Why oh why did I drop him in fantasy

 

[Chainshot]

Regardless of why... thank you.

You can't really ask for much more than that. Took a while but Granato seems to have unlocked a monster.

Perhaps the league is only allowed one 6'7" all-star at a time and with Chara retiring, the door was open for Tage to duck under

What happened to trigger his astronomical rise last year? I mean his numbers from several NHL seasons prior to that don't even hint at anything close to his offensive explosion that happened last season.

Moved him to center. Gave him quality linemates.

Spooky.

So three players with 6 points each on Halloween? And not a NJ player among them...

They fired Ralph Krueger.

seriously though…position change, usage change, minute change.

and he worked. He was sent to the minors after playing a good chunk in the nhl and kept his head up and worked. He suffered a major injury in his first call up from the ahl…and he rehabbed and worked. krueger had him playing limited minutes on a checking line as a winger. Granato has him as the 1C playing top PP. the situations couldn’t be more different but he’s earned the spot After being trusted.

he did all of this while his wife was battling cancer too.

he‘s mentally been through the worst and now he’s becoming a star with a new baby, a new contract and by all accounts is a high quality person.

 

[centipede2233]

you See pasternak’s amazing caphit atm, as Pasternak graduates to his 3rd contract, tage thompson‘s 7.14 mil AAV takes its place as one of the best caphits. Buffalo could be a POWERhouse very soon…

 

[Ace]

 

[Asymmetric Solution]

I damn sure wouldn’t trade him back to STL for ROR now.

 

[Kc232]

Dahlin lmaoooooooooo

 

[Wallet Inspector]

Why oh why did I drop him in fantasy

I dropped him and my opponent this week picked him up

 

[Sabre the Win]

Dahlin lmaoooooooooo

He loves the game.

 

[HabsQC]

I dropped him and my opponent this week picked him up

Oh lord that's worse.

 

[spunk buster]

I wouldn't get ahead of ourselves here, I don't know why but I get serious Cheechoo vibes from this guy. Like the size is the constant, he's got that I just don't see where you're seeing this massive offensive upside? Like game to game he scores much like cheechoo and we've only seen like half a good year. I just don't think we should get ahead of oursleves this kid has alot to learn to make it permanently in the NHL

Oh man. Condolences on your loss.

So you're saying he's going to blow out a knee badly like Cheechoo did, from which he was never really the same player? Cool, cool.
