1st 2019. 2nd 2021. Tage Thompson. Sobotka. Berglund. That is a major return for the Sabres. I get why the Blues did it, they add ROR and Bozak today and they're a better team. But given the midnight pressure to deal ROR, impressive by Jason Botterill

Who's Thompson?

Big friggin kid, Blues 1st in 2016 draft...6'5" RW...can play some C too.

March 2018- Tage Thompson sits in an interesting position in his first season as a pro. That being incredibly effective in the AHL(18 points in 30 games) while not so much at the NHL level just yet. Having put up eight points in 34 games for the Blues, Thompson is just now starting to use his bigger frame to bring results. Being 6’5″ and over 200 pounds the 2016 first round pick will be a force once he realizes how simplify his game a bit. Thompson can control the puck with ease, his only struggle is finishing on opportunities in those prime scoring areas. Thompson is up with the Blues a tad too soon which could result in a few more stints in the AHL before being a full time Blue. One has to remember also that Thompson can play down the middle as well.

2 nhlers, looks like a B- to B prospect and a 1st and 2nd

pretty good haul

Berglund and Sobotka can Shelter Middlestadt minutes.

So let’s break it down:

A 2016 1st round pick
A 2019 1st round pick
1 2021 2nd round pick
A 3rd line center
A depth forward

For

ROR

Plus there could be another move coming....

I like it.

We now have way too many bodies.....

I'm guessing there may be more moves on the horizon.

Sobtoka is a winger
- Mentalorgasm5

He's a C/LW

Ok. Can we stop complaining about inactivity now?

Goddamnit, we didn't get Thomas!

He can play down the middle too I thought.

Pretty Crazy how a guy with a 20 Team No-Trade List (Berglund) Waived it to come to Buffalo. Maybe we aren't as bad a destination as most think.

Nelson can get the house the ROR bought from Myers.

Face value, I don't hate it. Would have liked to get Kyrou, Thomas or Fabbri. Berglund is fine, Sobotka is bad

You have been fooling me for years. Lol

5 minutes until someone complains about Okposo or Bogo...

It'll be a bit longer methinks. It wasn't until about 3 hours into FA that they started squawking.
