Good solider that will be replaced by some other 4th liner.

If there is one thing that isn't in short supply in the league, it's 4th liners.

Seems like a great market for top 4/6 guys, but pretty soft for depth guys. After namestinkov only got a 4th my expectations on the thompson return went down.

As for Thompson himself...there were some vocal people saying he was washed up/useless/whatever but I liked him on the 4th line. He did his job well.

What a stupid trade. Yes, I know Brendan Gallagher was a 5th but so were thousands of players picked in the 5th Round. Nate was one of the best FO men in the league. Would have preferred to keep him just for that than a pointless 5th Rounder.
what if he said he wanted to go to free agency? some people will complain about anything.

Thompson was one of the worst forwards in the NHL in terms of impact

A 5th is all! I think I’m going away now and look at this board at 4:00. So far, we have traded two players I like a lot while getting nothing in return except two draft picks who have less than a 10% chance of even making Montreal.

Evans can replace him easy

What use is Nate's FO ability on a team that might not make the POs? Seriously. His impact is almost nothing on the club. They don't need him.
