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

[KingPuckChoo]

lol. He's that bad?

he's exactly what you guys think of the Kings, old and slow

but! excellent on faceoffs and he does have veteran experience

so it is what it is

but i think it's an upgrade for Montreal's 4th line... i personally couldn't wait for LA to rid of this guy

 

[stopclickbait]

This seems like a win for LA it stops WD from ever playing Thompson 10+ mins a night

Chaput sucks as our 4th line center. Happy to have an upgrade even if it's a small one.

Kings must really have been desperate to get rid

Trevor Lewis just came off IR and is about 3 steps above Thompson. So who now becomes WD's favorite bottom 6'er to play where he shouldn't be playing?

I love Bergevin’s obsession with the fourth line. Feels like over the years he’s gone through 30+ separate grinders and fringe players hoping one will stick. The cost is low so it doesn’t really matter, I just get a kick out of it.

 

[Burke the Legend]

THIS JUST IN:

Montreal acquires a bag of pucks.........for a back of pucks.

Story at 11.

The Kings got 16 pucks in exchange for 15 + Thompson. This is some real 21st century moneypuck GMing. Who says only wunderkid GMs like Chayka & Dubas can use a computer?

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

Got robbed

 

[le_sean]

Danault was taking every important faceoff since he’s the only one that wins any and can be trusted if he doesn’t. Nate should help Danault out a bit in that regard.

 

[Superlative Soup]

Classic Bargainbin trade.

Usually, slow players don't perform well on the PK. Is he that slow?

 

[KingsCourt]

lol...he got traded for about 50 draft spots ...lol ...just happy he's gone

 

[kanucks25]

I think Thompson has decent speed, or is he slow like Ralph throwing a banana ?

go banana

 

[le_sean]

Classic Bargainbin trade.

Yeah classic. Found our 1st line centre in Domi for a failed centre. Then traded Grumpio-retty for an equal, cheaper player + Suzuki. Also got Armia for a bunch of nothing. Classic Bargainbin.

I'm happy we don't lose a selection in the 2019 draft.

 

[PullHard]

This sorta sets the price for a Glending trade, eh? Maybe a 3rd instead of a 4th though

Not quite, but good try

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Nate was quite well liked in the dressing room i remember reading not too long ago.. Gonna be a smack in the faces for his former teammates losing him now

 

[Wats]

Going to be an expensive 4th line, hopefully it's better than what we are see now:

Deslaurier/Hudon/Chaput - Thompson - Weise

 

[Edgy]

shiiitt

More like 10 draft spots, but in any case he should be a significant upgrade on what we currently have. How sad is this?

 

[Edgy]

Half eaten Poutine from La Banquise. Take it or leave it.

We overpaid.

 

[Mr Tadakichi]

everyone complaining about this for the habs...

why?

 

[Little Psycho]

Willie D's obsession is gone!

 

[KingPuckChoo]

Willie D's obsession is gone!

Phaneuf remains

 

[Herby]

The Kings and Habs have been taking turns trading washed up NHL'ers who end up out of the league in the offseason.

This will work out about as well as Torrey Mitchell and Dwight King did.

lol...oh yes, correct...my math was wrong...lol...enjoy him.
