tage is the new tim connolly

as long as he is a sabre, there is a chance the gm wins the trade

They’re gonna put all the guys that won’t waive in the press box?
They can’t afford to bring in guys to replace them
Gotta figure they’ll find a way to make it work out
But hopefully teams will make it a bit harder than Vancouver did ffs

I thought that was a very reasonable package for J.T. Miller. Heck ask anyone the day of that trade and I’m sure most would have said that it was an overpayment (myself included)

Miller then went and had an incredible year for Vancouver which I don’t think anyone could have foreseen. He was a perfect fit on PP1 and on the top line with Pettersson (who is going to be this decades Datsyuk).

also never got 19 goals in a season

I bet tage gets 20 in his first full season when we resume hockey

If the kid hits the gym and builds up the man strength needed to play in the NHL at his height then he’ll be a very productive complimentary player.

I see the potential in Thompson in spurts, I know many here have soured on him but I still want to see him have one more year to go.

Willing to give Tage a shot, if he turns into Connolly before his noodle got fried I will take that.

I was surprised the Canucks gave up a 1st round pick for Miller, but he did have 72 (27 goals - 45 assists) points in 69 games this season, he just turned 27, and he's only making $5.25M for the next 3 seasons.

Iván Provorov disagrees.

If Tage puts on 20 pounds and hires a shooting coach so his wicked wrister hits twine instead of the glass he’s going to be a nice role player at a cheaper cap hit.

It was an overpay at the time of the trade that ended up working out great

He still should’ve went for a 2nd + (at the most)

All I’m saying is that i hope teams don’t make it easy on Tampa
They shouldn’t even be getting market value for these guys, let alone overpayments

Nothing about Tage suggests he will ever be a top 6 player. The one time he accidentally used his size, he ended mikko koivu's season. If he learns how to harness his tallness and his shot, he can be a nice 3rd line, PP2 guy

Done
I’ll take a 12pack from some local JAX brewery though instead

Not too many Florida beers get distributed in WNY
Cigar City from Tampa is probably the most popular, and even that is fairly scarce
