Value of: Tage Thompson

[HockeyVirus]

So a future leaf?

Not only a lame overdone chirp, not even close to being applicable and hasn't been for quite some time.

 

[Beerz]

Yes? Skill guy with tons of foot speed with 0 physicality and incredibly soft. Hit or miss effort shift to shift.

0 physicality?

 

[Mrfenn92]

Sure

 

[DJJones]

I mean you could probably get a blank cheque from Calgary. Just write down your price.

 

[SirloinUB]

Buffalo isn't trading Thompson unless they feel like the move makes them better in both the short and long term.

ie. you'd have to give up a similarly valued young piece plus something meaningful to make it worth it for buffalo.

 

[JohanFranzenstein]

Can you tell me alittle more about no?

I'm unfamiliar with this player and how they are tracking.

He passes the eye test. He's somewhere between Brent and Wayne Gretzky.

 

[Fjordsen]

He's what people thought Phil Kessel was before the cups without being nearly as good

Who cares what his playing style is or what his minuses are. He's still 1C in a shitty team at almost PPG pace and 50 goals per season, he has his pluses.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

You gotta think first ask would be Demidov+ no?

Doubt it. Did Eichel bring back a demidov level prospect?

Gezz Thompson is overrated

Dach + Hage + MTL first 2026 or CGY first 2025 would be my best offer

Sabres say no

A healthy Eichel would have returned a lot more in a trade than what he got. More like 7-8 pieces in terms of players, picks, prospects

 

[Viqsi]

27 years old player with 1 ppg season under his belt is worth Suzuki, a very likely top 5 1st and ANOTHER untouchable asset, to MAYBE get the Sabres attention?

That's like 3 times the value Buffalo got for Jack Eichel who led Vegas to a cup.

You're asking a man dying of thirst in the desert for his last bottle of water. Yes, that is what it would take.

 

[Shark Finn]

Colorado would happily offer Mittelstadt+ for him!

Nice avatar and post.

I recall hearing that No was a doctor but for the life of me, I don't remember where.

Smart man. Heard he's an evil genius.

...But i'm thirsty, can't he think about other people??

 

[Chainshot]

Smart man. Heard he's an evil genius.

I hear he has really hates Phil Esposito and Paul Coffey for some reason.

 

[Uberpecker]

Doubt it. Did Eichel bring back a demidov level prospect?

Eichel trade is not a good comparison for various reasons.

lol 7-8 pieces calm down

 

[Unbiased Fan]

Demidov, Caufield and Rienbacher for Thompson and Tuch

 

[TageGod]

You can start with a top 6 C, top 6 W, and top 4D. Maybe Sabres will answer.

 

[FlappyGiraffe]

I would happily pay our top F prospect and two firsts from the Jets to get Tage.

Lambert/Yager/Chibrikov + 2025 First + 2026 First (top 5 protected)

I'd even throw in Stanley so you can keep a token tall guy in the lineup after trading Tage.

Firstly you don't have Calgary's first. You likely still have Florida's.

Secondly, that's awful for Buffalo. Trading Thompson for a bunch of lesser pieces?

If Buffalo is trading Thompson, it's for a full rebuild, which makes no sense with Dahlin and Power in place. Buffalo just needs to play better and build a better team around their young players. Trading their #1 centre in his prime would be an awful move, unless it's for a slightly younger #1 centre who is going to be just as good.
