How many fourth line guys were on pace to score near 20 goals in a full season? Personally I think Thompson is at least a third line player, and Zacha is only a second line center at best. There was an AGM on here a couple weeks ago where the Devils sent Thompson‘s brother to Buffalo, not sure where he fits but that might be something.
Tyce Thompson is a good player - but needs to add about 20 lbs.
He is the smaller, but more skilled of the two brothers.
Was top-5 in scoring in NCAA.

Hard to argue with someone who's as big of a homer as this guy. Zacha is a solid 3C on a real team, a 2C on bottom feeders like us and the Devils, and Thompson is a 3RW... mix in Risto with retention, who is the piece who's been said publicly that they want, and the trade should be close enough.
Zacha is a 3C for us when he plays center, but was a first-line LW for most this past season.
Was a ppg player on Nico's line.
There was a story about Risto to NJD that came from one guy, a Sabres beat reporter.
I do not think the Devils are going to go after Risto.
Goes against everything they have been saying, doing for last year and half.
