Please stay away from Debrincat and Thompson.

I'd love to get Bean or Bellows.

Why is everyone so against Tage Thompson? He's a great forward with lots of potential.

I have ST to UConn and saw this kid play. He's a really good player for only being 18 and playing against mainly 22-24 yr olds. He needs to fill in his frame, but another year @ UConn will help.

Led the NCAA last year with 13 PP goals and hit slap shot is amazing.

I know his dad is the BST coach, but he is a forward worth looking at.

He's gonna be nasty.

To me their is a clear cut top 21, with maybe 2 or 3 guys you could argue deserves some second looks, Tage to me is just after that group. If we were picking 25 I would have no problem but at 19 he is a bad pick

That's actually a reason people are a bit leery of drafting him. 13 PP goals is a good thing to be sure, but when you only have 14 goals total, it's a significant concern that you only scored 1 goal all season that wasn't on the PP. He also has some pretty notable skating issues.

But mostly, it's generally a bad idea to have a guy coach his own kid at the professional level.

I would probably add he isn't really that physical, all that being said on the plus side he grew 4 inches in 1 year so he did everything this season while probably being a lil awkward

Seriously? This guy is like genital herpes, he never goes away. Did he have his porky grandkid with him too?
Fark. 15% owner means 15% trouble, trouble this team doesn't need anymore.
