He doesn't have his brother's size, at all.

His dad was the former coach in Bridgeport

From what I am reading, he was passed over in the draft twice because he was 5'10 at the time and has since grown to 6'2. Aparently the same thing happened to Tage. The family seems to be a couple of late bloomers.

I think we might have something...

I thought AD was kind of like a swiss army knife player to roll into the 4th line. Speed and good on the PK. I know it's a minor league transaction, but another rhd forward.

They watered Tage a lot more

Wanted Arnaud for the future 4th line wing but again, not letting myself get annoyed at an AHL deal

Our next brett lindros!

This makes up for taking Bellows over Tage . Fasching will certainly be the next Carter Verhaeghe while Thompson joins Michael Dal Colle in a year or two playing in Transylvania.

This trade will have no impact ever on our chance to win a Cup

Our next brett lindros!

Blake Kessel! David Toews! Sasha Ovechkin!

 

[BarzyClub]

Thompson with a one way deal . Lou sure loves paying players NHL money to play in the A.

Hopefully, this doesn’t mean Dufour is out for a long time .

 

[Chardo]

Does Lou know that's not Tage?

 

[Sparksrus3]

Blake Kessel! David Toews! Sasha Ovechkin!

it all started with Monty Trottier

 

[Chapin Landvogt]

Can't explain why Durandeau is off to such a poor start (-7, 4 points in 12 games) or if he perhaps was the one seeking a trade here for some reason, but in essence, we just moved a guy who had 55 points last season for another who had 26.

For both, those were career highs.

Granted, Thompson did have 15 points in 16 games the season before, which was his first pro season.

I think they just felt the organization is not he same without a Thompson around.

He's playing for last place Iserlohn in the DEL!

Let's not get carried away here...

 

[crashthenet]

I wonder if Durandeau should have been afforded the opportunity given to Gauthier?

 

[steveat]

According to Elliot, there was a top 10 team that was offered Tage for a 5th rounder the year before his breakout year..that team turned it down and from what I understand, that management is kicking themselves hard. I am pretty sure the Isles was that team, but I can't remember if we were top 10 that year.

I love these stupid graphics.

Tyce Thompson ACQUIRED

 

[periferal]

Serious question...

What is the point of this deal?

 

[Fist of Fury]

Tyce Ice Baby! Lou with a steal here! Just put him on the first line today against the Devils!

 

[Kevin27NYI]

Serious question...

What is the point of this deal?

Likely trade request by both guys

Both were struggling and both may not have had pathways to the show.

 

[Chapin Landvogt]

Serious question...

What is the point of this deal?

In addition to what Kevin said, gotta think the organization just felt a deep hole in the soul without a Thompson around.

I admit that I can remember seeing him in the preseason and thinking, "He ain't that bad. He's got some jam."

 

[Sparksrus3]

Serious question...

What is the point of this deal?

I figure it’s Lou letting us know he is alive and tirelessly working the phones to improve this team although it seems like a deal Charles Wangs chubby kid could have made with a Smart Beep and a dime for the pay phone

AHL numbers do not instill much faith. Durandeau was a spark plug. We need a regime change very badly.
