again, tage says hold my beer


he was a reach that may or may not work out but lets not acting like he is the second coming of mogilny or rick martin


this great goal scorer got 2 goals in 15 games in rochester


right now he can't sniff jody gage's jock let alone be a lock for the top 6 in buffalo

- homiedclown


I don't really understand the tallness comparison. Thompson got 2 points in 16 games, only 1 goal, in his D+1 AHL season...so Quinn did wildly better than him while being injured to the point of needing surgery.

And nobody can sniff Jody Gage's jock strap, they didn't have jock straps back when Jody Gage played hockey.

grain of salt, but apparently the Sabres really like him. It's a mock worthy sentence I suppose, but if they're onto something (I believe Kev Jason and Sam are) then, (frank) it, let's see what he's got.
- TheSabresTaco

Of course they do man. Just like they really liked Anders Bjork and he totally wasn’t just thrown in to make the money work

all I got from this is he played many sports when he was 12, like everyone else

he was playing in the HEO U14 AA league at 12, 30 games a year

just like every other eventual hockey prospect

- homiedclown



Ya he was playing AA when he wasn't even trying....... Thats the point clown.

Now hes only got hockey on his plate.

Like you said wasnt even in the top 100 a year before his draft. Puts the work in and gets a top 10 pick


Lets see what he can do with a few more years of strict development.

Hes everything you want in a prospect. Big competitor, hard working, won't hear him complain. Just works and works and works. WHICH IS WHAT WE WANT

We got a 2nd and Bjork for a guy with 2 goals on the season that we got for free in the offseason

We got a 1st, 2nd, former first round prospect, guy who had 17 goals in 57 games the year before, and a cap dump for a 60 point second line center.

It’s irrelevant what happened afterwards

He was the most disappointing Sabre of my life and I include Ville Leino in that.

I mean it's ok to like a guy (they were right to like Bjork), he fits their player model. Sadly he's not more talented.

He looked good in a few games, invisible the rest. Pretty much what Bruins fans said of him.

He’s fine

We’re trying to trade a center who also had 2 goals. Anything before or after is irrelevant

Adjust your expectations for a return accordingly

Is this the ROR trade?

You're comparing the ROR trade to the Hall trade?

I’m comparing ridiculous narratives that what happened after one deal matters and what happened after another doesn’t.
