thanks. i hate it

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Thompson was held out of the Crunch game the other night, so maybe this was coming. I always really liked him as a prospect but hard to deny what Max Crozier, another right handed dman, has done in the NHL as well. Don't need to keep both.

 

[These Are The Days]

Thank God

 

[RussianGuyovich]

crozier is glacier slow, but yeah it has to be that coaching didnt see much for thompson since he only got one game

 

[T REX]

Doesn't move the needle at all

 

[DFC]

Fine with it if we resign Duclair. Not a big fan if we don't, because Duclair is not gonna move the needle on the 2024 Lightning.

 

[Hoek]

Expensive rental that doesn't do enough... Gotta extend for cheap at least

 

[ccman68]

we have 4 rhd ahead of thompson and none of them are going anywhere is probably the thought here. duclair is a pretty good player imo but it’s not exactly gonna make a difference for us

 

[Lightning1995]

Typical JBB overpay for really no reason. This team needs a major shakeup not just a depth forward. More assets is what’s really needed. This yea, is telling you tonight what they are this season

 

[DrMartinVanNostrand]

We're making buy trades when our goaltender is total ass cheeks and will single-handedly cripple our chances to do anything unless he magically figures out how to turn back the clock to 3-4 years ago.

Sure, why not.

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

This isn’t that consequential of a move in the grand scheme of things but I’m losing my trust in JBB’s judgment. That’s a high price to pay for a rental who is really struggling this year. There’s a decent chance he rebuilds his value on a better team but I don’t see the upside this year. Maybe we keep him next year and get something out of it?

 

[JFleegs]

Thompson?? Ugh

 

[Rschmitz]

Well on the plus side this might mean no more Sheary in the lineup. Still a complete shit of a trade.

Overpay for another francophone

 

[aylib]

That’s a naw for me, dawg

 

[The Gongshow]

JBB is such an idiot

 

[Tampa22]

I don't think we need that deal. JBB in desperation mode trying to do something...

 

[ccman68]

 

[The Gongshow]

JBB gonna give him 4mil a year too with a new contract? This team is in 0 position for rentals. He has no idea what he's doing for a retool

We have 4 RD but not 4 good RD. Perbix should have been the one to go, Thompson is better than him and will be better than Raddysh soon enough. Crozier is an ok player but Thompson is something we don't have and need. There's nothing in the system coming up on either side.

For what it’s worth, Sharks fans seem to love Duclair.

literally the only defensive prospect with a decent ceiling.

i will admit that i was wrong about hajek

 

[Flat Ronnie]

We don't like this tweet, right guys?

This trade only works if Cooper plays Duclair at 2LW and Paul at 3C. If we paid that much to put Duclair on the 3rd line Cooper should get fired. Paul has his moments but he needs to be on the 3rd line.

Hell, I'd do Paul - Stamkos - Duclair

Cirelli is a 3C, put him with Ace and idk. The whole bottom 6 is so useless
