RD Lassi Thomson (2019, 19th, OTT; claimed by ANA; claimed by OTT)

[Dirtyf1ghter]

Time will prove you wrong me thinks.

It will be very very complicated with Askarov, Lundell and Holtz

Edit : new defeat 0-4 Thomson -3

Don't quiet ! This topic will go up with further rave reviews from Thomson to his next point on the scoreboard.

 

[Sun God Nika]

Got his first assist last night, two really solid nhl games to star his career

Agreed, wouldn’t be surprised if he’s the #1 callup post covid outbreak.

This is the lassi thomson thread not the sanderson/drysdale thread. Stay on topic.

Thomson in his first NHL game played more minutes than any rookie has ever played for Ottawa in their first game.

He was so good that he was paired with Chabot next game on our top pair and got his first NHL point en route to a win with depleted lineups.

Sanderson is very very good

He is but he has you on Sillinger over Boucher but waht do I know I think that Ottawa really reach on their first 2 picks in the 2021 draft but what do I know as both guys are really progressing this year....well maybe not.

It's not like the Sens were missing any regulars due to some weird pandemic protocol but hey why bring in context eh?

Were you so excited to post this limp-membered retort that you failed to read the final two words of the post you’re quoting?

No I was drunk and got the games mixed up but he also got those MPG due to another guy (Zub) getting knocked out of the game early so my point still stands, its not like he has that distinction based on merit or anything.

Zub was back the next game but Lassi still played on the first pair. Kid looks really impressive, could be a potential top-4 defenceman. With Sanderson coming too this season, the defence will be much improved.

 

[Blacephalon]

he was a good choice but not the better

Can you borrow your crystal ball? It’s definitely a possibility, but I’ll wait until Sanderson plays an NHL game.

Mr. StatsGuy backkkk at it.

Even at the same level, compared to the shortages in the Ottawa squad (there are many though), selecting a left-handed defenseman was not the best thing to do.

5 years of reconstruction and still no center No. 1 nor depth at this position, no effective right-handed defender, no safe goalkeeper.

Yes Josh Norris, Shane Pinto, Filip Gustavsson but it takes more to dominate in NHL. All teams have players of this level.

Disagree. I was of the opinion Drysdale was better player in vacuum but Sanderson was better fit for Ottawa and still stand by that. Actually Sanderson looks like his ceiling just as high now.

Sanderson's style of play will be much more effective in the playoffs and for Ottawa in general. Deploying Chabot one pairing and Sanderson the next will be monstrous. Zub and Thomson looking like solid counterparts for a balanced attack instead of overloading one pairing.

This is Thomson's thread tho.

Take a left-handed defender in 5th position to overtake Thomas Chabot, not convinced.

I prefer the current situation in Ottawa to that of Montreal, but I am not optimistic either.

Stutzle is not very convincing this year.

PS: I am responding to a message that calls out to me about Sanderson. Logically, I'm talking about Sanderson.

I think the subject Thomson will sleep some time after his last performance and the team is off.

Oh you mean on the Ottawa senators team thats 4-10.
Oh you mean on that same team that's had covid problems for the last couple of weeks?
Oh you mean that kid who's 19 years old?
Gotcha.

Disappointing in the sense that he did not take the expected step of a dominant offensive talent as Lucas Raymond does.

 

[cheesymc]

I thought this kid would be another Brandon Montour. Maybe he gets a reset with another organization.

All teams have 21- year old centres who paced for 50 points in their rookie season, matching up against every teams first line? Would you care to list them them?

No effective right-hander? It’s clear you know nothing about Ottawa. There’s Zub who’s a top pairing defenceman, and either Lassi or JBD will fill the other spot, both who have top-4 potential.

The points haven’t come yet, but he’s looked dynamic in the majority of games he’s played. Lafreniere has been more disappointing.

Is this a joke? He’s 21, getting his first chance in the NHL and looks great so far.

Just turned 21 less than 2 months ago.

Has 1 assist in 3 NHL games while averaging just under 20 mins a game, just over 1 min on the PP and just over 2 mins on the PK per game

You seriously think he needs a change of scenery on another team?

I'm assuming you are mixing him and someone else up.

Maybe you are thinking Brannstrom?
