This is the worst thing that happened since Balcers and Puempel.

Best of luck to Lassi Thompson, with better puck moving options in Sanderson, Chychrun, Chabot, and Brannstrom there were no realistic shot of him in Ottawa. But organizations lacking such option/depth would find his skillset attractive and he is a RD. Doesn’t seem to have the acumen to be an everyday NHLer but perhaps gets an opportunity to learn from experience with Anaheim.
This also signals Brannstrom not being on the block, they risk losing JBD as well due to cap gymnastics.

I kinda like him. Thought there was a player in there somewhere. He has some tools that you cannot teach.
Hopefully he'll carve out a career in Anaheim

When I saw him look like a fish out of water on the goal the other night I had this strange feeling he was done here.
Not that its going out on a limb or anything. No surprise here.

Didn’t hate him. Saw him play some really good games in the AHL and flashes in the NHL. Feel neutral on this.

I like him more than JBD, that’s not saying much.

Interesting they let Ty Smith (Marino trade) go and opted for Lassi.
I wish LT well

Not surprised someone claimed him as he's RHD and still young and a decent enough AHLer, however I'm shocked it was the Ducks. They're loaded with dmen especially on the right side.

Looking at his draft in hindsight, it doesn't look like there was much else to pick either, maybe other than Tomasino?

Rather keep him than JBD but not surprised, and not really surprised someone else picked him up.
Always liked watching him, thought he was going good player but then think his last game summed it up - 1st period I was mystified how the could keep him out of the lineup, and behind JBD again….and then the 2nd period was played.
Mantinpalo looks better than either of them.

Well it’s a difficult discussion but heinola bjornfot mcmicheal tommasino all better picks. Arguably better picks at the time as well.

Heinola might be on waivers in a few weeks and McMichael could be in the same boat once his waivers exemption runs out. Tomasino is the only guy with much of a shot at being in the top half of a teams lineup

Kleven is clearly a better prospect than either of them.
Kleven is the future, but he needs some AHL seasoning. Plus, he is waiver exempt and in the current situation I expect him to start in Belleville. I hope he kicks ass with Marco MatinPolo tonight!

They probably needed a RHD.
Lassi has a good toolset, for him it's about making better decisions imo.
