Value of: Nate Thompson

[domiwroze]

Which team would be looking for a 4th line C like Nate and what would they be willing to give for?

Heavy, fast, great on faceoffs and PK. Amazing locker room guy. Very responsible Cman. 1M Cap hit.

Around a 4th rounder?

[Langdon Alger]

4th or 5th round pick I’d guess.

 

[FameFlame069]

4th for 50% retention(mainly so my team can make more moves)

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

I thought a 4-5 but I also thought a 3-4 for Scandella

Depends if the insanity continues or not

I liked Nate Dogg when he was a senator.

Some Oiler fan offered a 2nd and a conditional 3rd in another thread.

I believe he was drunk and meant for Thomas from StL

4-5th round. Top 15 in face offs, good skater, can move up on a limited basis, but is really a 4th liner. Glue guy.

Who in the league is looking for a top4 C ? He can also jam 12-13 TOI per night overall and that's great for the playoffs.

Who in the league isn't looking for a top4 C ? He can also jam 12-13 TOI per night overall and that's great for the playoffs.

I'd say just about anyone. If he's nothing more than a 13th forward he'd still be a good fit anywhere.

Deal

 

[Notabaguette]

I could see it being a 3rd round pick for Thompson and a 6th.

Because he is so good at faceoffs he is worth a 3rd over a 4th

 

[mariolemieux66]

A 3rd is fair value.

 

[Goal Caufield50]

A 3rd is fair value.

Sold for a third.?????

 

[Gfroer]

I think the Pens might be interested. They've been getting manhandled in the faceoff dot all season and theyre one Blueger injury away from not having any bottom-6 centers going into the playoffs.

4th and another crappy player and it's a deal.

Crappy player goes to Laval and Blandisi comes up.

 

[Habs Halifax]

What other bottom 6 center is available like that? Thompson is a big body that skates well and does his assignments well. Great on face offs too. I think he is a candidate to surprise people on what he returns... Anybody know what other pending UFA's could be also available like that? Supply/Demand is a factor here.

I say he is worth a little less than Scandella to a team looking to fill a bottom 2C role. Above average 4C and fringe 3C if you need him to play in that spot due to an injury.

Two 3rd's? 2021 and 2022. Best return I can see the Habs getting.

He didnt even return a 4th by himself last season but now he's worth two 3rds? Okay...

If Eakins went for a conditional 4th, Thompson will at least get that. He's more suited for playoffs hockey and has more playoffs experience than Eakins. I think a conditional 3rd, becoming 2nd depending on team playoffs performance.

EakiN. Eakin is more suited to playing 3C in the playoffs, whereas Thompson is an older, slower 4th line C. Albeit a good one.

I don't know where you get the comparison that one is better suited for the playoffs. Eakin has 19 points in 46 playoff games. Thompson has 18 points in 62 and I don't believe he's ever reached the finals.

But teams would probably try to get Grant for a 3rd.
