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
Take that 2nd, 3rd, and 5th we got for Thompson, Kovy, and Scandella and go get Anesthiou - throw in Lehkonen if need be.Finally, now Bargainbin can call it a day and hit the gym!!
Kind underwhelming after the 2nd for Scandella... we have so many 3/4/5 round pick couldn’t we package Thomson with picks to move down instead of getting a other 5th...

we spent a 4th for him , we got a 5th
Being good at faceoffs has literally little to no impact on winning games because it's nothing more than a slightly biased coin toss, and very little goals are scored directly off a faceoff winI would have still kept him. In the last decade, too many times we lost face-offs and the blood pressure went up. He was good at that and helped the team. Yes, bad for the tank, but good for the blood pressure.
I believe his impact was much greater than whatever stat you point to because of the face-offs.

5th in 2021. We acquired him for a 4th. Oh no...even in trades that means nothing, Bergie can actually lose? Can't believe it. lol
No we gave up a 4th for him and got 2 5ths backwe spent a 4th for him , we got a 5th
There's almost no correlation (aka it's not significan) between shooting metrics (aka what we use as possession metrics for the time being) and faceoff wins. Or just g±/60 and faceoffs. Or wins and faceoffs.Zone time happens. you lose a defensive faceoff and spend 45 seconds in your own zone with pressure, your D gets tired and that impacts.... Same the other way.
These are good trades, but I'm waiting to see who Bergevin picks up to replace these guys on the roster.
IMO, it would be best to leave the Laval prospects in Laval, to compete for a playoff spot.
