Per Armstrong:
“Buffalo did a really good job of maintaining their desire for Tage and the picks, then you have to do the math equation to make it work. Unfortunately we had to part with some players we respect highly. But in a cap system, you have to do things that are uncomfortable.”

Buffalo general manager Jason Botterill said Sunday night that Thompson “from our standpoint, has very good speed. One of the biggest things we like is his size, his reach and his ability to protect the puck. We like his hockey sense, and he has shooter’s mentality.”

Luke Adam used to be a better prospect than Marcus Foligno.

And they both are not good ..

american and euro 18 year olds do not feel the sense of entitlement that canadians feel
- homiedclown

Especially the Scandies. You don't seem to find any sort of entitlement out of those guys. Dahlin, the entire hockey world knows he's the best prospect in decades from Sweden, except for him.

AA is 22 and just hitting his potential he’s fast and already had what 18? On the 3rd line I believe

And berglund is 30 so I believe Those two are not comparable

He's Canadian, why would Botts trade for him?

You clearly missed the point I was making.

It’s a gm trying to Butter you up ..

I’m not mad anymore it is what it is

I’m ready to pump up Thompson until He’s the next heater

He's Canadian, why would Botts trade for him?
- ImThatGuy

Damn the dream is dead 💀

So let me get this straight.

Berglund - 60 points last two years, complete crap
AA - 62 points last two years. First line Winger for Eichel.

I wouldn’t
- gerbe75pts

I wouldn't want to lose them for nothing. The way I see it, there are two spots available for Girgensons, Larsson, Bailey, Baptiste, Nylander, O'Regan, Olofsson. 4 of them are not waiver-exempt.

So we have to look for players that have a college history and not in the CHL or European


I believe that’s zucker right ?

- jcragcrumple

you have 3 extra roster spots

can keep them with a d man with big club and rotate them in the lineup if needed

- TheSabresTaco

He lost the argument bro

One is 30 the other is 23

Yes Comparable

Maybe we can get some 3rds for some and use that

AA = Mikkel Bødker

Completely overrated.

Nope, he sucks, Botts got fleeced ugh smh ugh

- ImThatGuy

I disagree but I'm not going to hate on your opinion

I just would like him more and see if he can stick with jack if it cost Jake

Jason Botterill shipped out a Canadian for another American and another Swede. This is becoming more than just "how things happened to work out".

I am not hating on this trade, just an observation.
- buffalofan19

Maybe jbotts has seen enough of the "good ol Canadian boys " drinking and partying hard.

Not to say Americans do not party

But I think the swedes are pretty focused on hockey first

It's the argument language that you provide that makes most of the poop you say sound absolutely ridiculous.

Glad not to see ROR in mock lineups.

1 Thomas
2Kyrou
3 Kostin
4) Dunn
5)Thompson
- gerbe75pts

Dunn isn't a prospect anymore he is a regular in the top 6. Kostin hasn't lit the world on fire, 28 points in 68 ahl games compared to Thompson 18 in 30.

I won't argue with the first two but I wouldn't put Kostin as the clear cut#3. I think with proper development Tage could be a nice future piece in the top 9.

Dunn isn't a prospect, wouldn't qualify for ROY next year. I've seen Kostin and Thompson switched by a few reports. So again, 5th by YOUR metric.

90.

He could have had 90. 9 was his old number and Kane had it
