Confirmed Trade: [MTL/LAK] Nate Thompson and 2019 5th round pick for 2019 4th round pick

This will turn out as bad as the Dwight King trade for you guys.

I guess you haven't seen Chaput play....this is an upgrade for us.

 

[WHOneedsSOX]

I'll gladly take a 4th back for him. Anything better than that is gravy.

 

[le_sean]

Won't be that bad. King only worked in Sutter's system. Thompson can bring his faceoff ability to any system.

Can he skate? Because Dwight King could not.

How fast is Thompson? As he slow down over the years.. I notice, through the stats, that he doesn't hit that much anymore.

 

[YP44]

Can he skate? Because Dwight King could not.

Better than King....Thompson will be one of the worst skaters in Montreal's lineup

 

[Igor Shestyorkin]

look what boyle just got i think ur a little low brother

Boyle is way better than Nate Thompson, lmao.

Better than King....Thompson will be one of the worst skaters in Montreal's lineup

As long as his positioning is good, he makes smart plays and wins faceoffs. 4th line is just killing us.

 

[BigBrown]

Can´t be for much. A 6th?

 

[CupsOverCash]

Habs can be sneaky dangerous in this playoffs I feel. Especially if they upgrade some important pieces on the team.

 

[Pestilence]

Nate Thompson has NTC?

 

[ProspectsFanatic]

Not sure how much a team like LA would be interested in a player like Hudon?

 

[HockeyDBspecialist]

53% to 57% faceoff winrate since he's start and a selke winner.

Get him Berg,

Hudon + 4th for Nate Thompson

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

A new suitor for Thompson must have emerged, offering a 1st round pick... E5.

 

[MasterMatt25]

Hudon + 3rd for Nate Thompson

Why would we add? Why a 3rd?

 

[Kraken Jokes]

I was hoping for someone with more offensive upside to compliment a Lehkonen or Byron that likely plays there with a full healthy lineup. Someone who could look okay filling in on the 3rd line as well.

Thompson is not that guy.

 

[HockeyDBspecialist]

Why would we add? Why a 3rd?

switched to a 4th
Hudon for Nate would be great, not sure after Scherbak they will take the chance.

I also think Mtl is going for a bigger fish at the TDL, they are clearing some space too, now they have enough wiggle room

5th! amazing deal

 

[seafoam]

Hopes for a 2nd would settle for a 3rd and prospect (ok i hope that )

Buddej, way off.

 

[MasterMatt25]

I could see it minus the 5th

Welp. Almost right

 

[SlyIslands]

A late 4th for an early 5th
Not much

 

[Fightman]

Thompson + 5th round pick for a 4th round pick....... I like that !
