Confirmed Signing with Link: [BUF] F Tage Thompson signs extension with the Sabres (7 years, $7.14M AAV)

Go away Ralph, you’re not gonna convince anyone this was all your master plan.

Ralph Krueger gave us Don Granato which gave us Tage Thompson at Center which gave us hope. Thanks, Ralph!

He has some stiff competition at center but his size could be appealing at the Center position.

Auston Matthews, Jack Eichel, Jack Hughes, Dylan Larkin, Matty Beniers, Trevor Zegras, and Josh Norris all could be centers for the national team.

I'd put him before 4 maybe 5 of those guys

When you look at these names it’s as infuriating for fans that there isn’t going to be international play anytime soon as it is convenient for team Canada.

Thompson apparently putting in extra work with Peyton Krebs who has had a rough start this year.

”Been there kid, know what you’re going through, this is what I did to push through.”

Not naming names, but that is the type of leadership this franchise has been missing.

Love this guy.

Easily. Tage might pass Eichel by the time the next Olympics/World Cup happens.

Hatty watch! 2 in under the first 10 tonight.

I dropped him after the first couple of weeks.

Unrelated note, doesn't anyone here know where to buy cheap nooses?

 

[Old Navy Goat]

Make it #4 on the PP still in 1st period

Never forget what he was before the breakout



I wonder if this will change some team’s development patience the way Josh Allen makes teams and fans point to how their guy has better numbers through two years than Allen…so look out

Sometimes a guy is just a unicorn

 

[NORiculous]

Thompson and Cozens are just burning every village they are crossing right now…

I can’t help but think that a corner has been turned in Buffalo. We don’t see it it the standings yet but wI’ll see how it goes.

It’s context of people like Tage Thompson and Josh Allen that that stats can’t pick up. Proponents of stats should know that, but it gets lost

 

[Team Cozens]

Easily. Tage might pass Eichel by the time the next Olympics/World Cup happens.

Easily. Tage might pass Matthews by the time the next Olypics/World Cup happens.

I'm just waiting for that Scooby Doo moment where he pulls of the mask and it reveals Lemieux at this point. He just keeps elevating his game.

 

[La Cosa Nostra]

His contract doesn't even kick in til next season

A bonafide superstar center at 7.14 per...just incredible. Best contract in the league ainec.

[Paulinbc]

Robertson is very close. Also younger so probably even.

Hmmm.

Excellent point.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]
