Tage Thompson was not a highly touted pick, He is a "B" Prospect.

Agreed, he was never what I would call a top prospect (but could be a nice player if he puts it together).Tage Thompson was not a highly touted pick, He is a "B" Prospect.
He's been the best and most consistent player on the entire roster.
What's funny are threads on the team boards where the Sabres fans claim their team "won the trade".
I know you’re Probably the most up and down poster I’ve seen in the 15 years I’ve been here but JB has done a lot of things right, it’s been four weeks. B prospect? Thompson was regarded a high prospect for a long time a minus at the very least. He has skill just hasn’t put it together. Berglund can be effective but more as a third or fourth line guy, if Mittlestadt was more ready this wouldn’t be an issue. We kept losing with ROR and something needed to change. Maybe the culture in the room of a guy who came out publically saying he didn’t wanna be here anymore and hated it pretty much. I know I’d love that guy in my room if I’m a young team!!! Perfect attitude. Eichel has matured with Pominville helping him out and I’m sure what’s not being Shown in the stats is how getting rid of negativity can help things along. Every single person has said the room had a better vibe now and that was before they won games. Even in the losses as pointed out the effort appears much better then last season.
Ror is fantastic but honestly there’s more to a trade then just player for players, we got five pieces here. We don’t even know who the picks are several top players have been selected with what we were given. Its okay to be upset with the trade but he never got a hat trick here or was on this kind of pace, he’s getting top minutes on a line with trarsenko, we have absolutely none and still hAve absolutely no proof he would be playing like this on buffalo if he were still here.
Good for him though he’s still obviously a solid player. Blues fans acting like they’ve won the cup after getting their fifth win like 15 games is cute though.
Both Skinner and ROR were traded for pennies on the dollar, it's funny that Buffalo was involved in both trades.
Perfect situation for Radar, but man I would have given up what the Blues gave up everyday (although I doubt they would've traded him back to us).
A couple of Sabres fans were trolling on the Blues board.You must be reading different threads than I am...

I'm under the impression that our DFL finish commanding some sort of major core change, his bonus, his comments about giving up on the season early (and his play early confirming that), and possibly already having drawn the ire of the Pegula's by making headlines with his DWI a week after coming to Buffalo... all lead to them deciding he was the odd man out.Can someone explain to me why the Sabres traded him? I still don't understand. They could've had a couple more wins with a guy like him right now.
I’m not saying Thompson is going to be great but many thought he would be. Berglund is decent sobotka had his moments in Boston and is bleh we really just wanted depth here and so far it’s a great trade for the Blues. It hasn’t shown up in the standings that way but maybe it will soon. This one will probably always look bad omg botterill but I can’t think of many things he’s done bad outside this if that’s how this goes.
A first round pick with size and skill who can play center is always considered a top prospect. He was never true top one in the top five or ten sense but a first round pick these days with advanced scouting is still a lot to get excited about and the blues were
was expected to center a top line with tarasenko

Seems there was a lot of excitement over this first round pick in St. Louis

They probably wouldn't have been as irritated by it if he assessed the Sabres as a whole like you said, maybe show more frustration than sulking, and didn't outright say he personally bailed on his job and gave up on the season early. Which seems confirmed by his way-below-average play to start the year, though he did spring back to life after the season was lost.Because this league is ass backwards in regards to allowing it's players to show some sort of emotion instead of the regurgitated robotic answers. He was deemed a "locker room cancer" for that interview he gave at the end of the season for just giving an honest assessment of how much of a disaster the Sabres were.
My theory is meddling owner.Can someone explain to me why the Sabres traded him? I still don't understand. They could've had a couple more wins with a guy like him right now.
That's called hyping up your pick. He's never been ranked high by 3rd party sources. He'll be a good NHL'er but thats a B prospect.I’m not saying Thompson is going to be great but many thought he would be.

You do realize that 100 pennies still makes this dumb statement true, right? Even 99 pennies. It's a horrible phrase and should never be used again.
That's like saying McDavid doesn't deserve credit because Edmonton fails. Fairly petty post/argumentIt's great that he's piling up the points in St. Louis. He did that in Buffalo too.... but tell me... how are the Blues doing in the standings? I'll hang up and listen.

The Avalanche once had O'Reilly AND MacKinnon AND Duchene.
What if their management had made different decisions.
The fact that we have him locked up for four more seasons after this year it's just amazing we traded basically nothing for a STAR Center and it's bad as a Blues have started out Ryan O'Reilly is the kind of player we need to finally get over that hump in the playoffs
