Confirmed with Link: [ANA/TBL] Nate Thompson to Anaheim for 4th and 7th round picks in 2015

[Vasilevskiy]

Not a fan of this one... guess we are going all in with our young forwards

Ducks fan here. I have to say I'm really encouraged by the dissatisfaction so many of you have towards this trade. A cheap, very popular bottom-six center who can kill penalties and provide leadership and energy is more than worth a couple of draft picks. Sorry for your loss but I'm sure by tomorrow you guys won't be so bummed anymore. I have to believe this is a top destination for a lot of free agents considering the money that will be spent and the team that Yzerman has built. I mean, who wouldn't want to play with Stamkos and live in Florida?

Also what's Textbook about?

Yeah, we're all a little bummed. But we all trust in the Yzerplan most of us anyway.

Textbook refers to our old coach, Guy Boucher, referring to Thompson as "textbook" all the time. Thompson would do what Guy asked to a T usually.

Love the sound of that. I'll do my best to keep it going on the Ducks boards but my peers seem to gravitate to really stupid nicknames so it'll be a struggle for sure.

I thought they called him textbook because he was so expensive and you don't really need him to pass the course anyway.

Unfortunately, Nate prefers "The Alaskan Assassin"

Textbook is definitely what I like to call him.

I prefer Nasty Nate.

We have liked him for his attitude, work ethic and usefulness (PK, faceoffs) but he did decline the last season in my eyes and in the end he is just a fourth liner but im sure he will do good for the Ducks.

Goonie would also work for Nate. "Never say die" really does apply to him.
