GMKA must have a lot of faith in Tage. This kind of money after one good year makes me nervous, on the other hand if he continues or dare I say even improve his game, Adam’s will look like a genius (Especially when Cap increases) No risk no reward I guess. If he progresses or even stays around last years level he’d be a 9Mil player after a bridge so this could be a savings. I think he’s trying to find a way to keep the band together when their contracts are up (Dahlin, Power, Samuelson, Cousins, Kerbs, Middlestat)
I’ve always liked Thompson even when other Sabres buddies thought he was a bum but I could see his potential and lack of opportunities given to him. He did have his breakout year with more ice, I feel there is even room for him to improve (defence) I’d rather risk it on a kid then a declining UFA like Kadri. No offence meant to Kadri but my point is his best years are probably behind him not ahead of him like Thompson.
I think it’s a calculated risk signing, we’ll need 3 years to probably properly evaluate it.
