The first would be nice, but we need centers in our system badly, and I doubt they’ll be eager to give up Tage. <strong>Plus Zadorov is a LHD, the trade is essentially Dube and first for Thompson.</strong></div></div> <div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Aasen6</b></div><div>What?

And if it’s such a steal for Buffalo why the hell would you want to make the trade? And better how? Thompson has as many goals as Dube has points this year. <strong>Yup! and he is only 9 months older than Dube.</strong></div></div> <div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Twins1568</b></div><div>Is Nylander officialy a bust? <strong>Yes he is and Botterill did great to get anything for him, but Jokiharju was a steal.</strong></div></div> Zadorov is a player the Sabres could use, they are very soft and the Rangers took advantage of that the other night.
Hägg is playing really well and Zadorov would not make a significant upgrade.
We know Zadorov has the value of a third, Hägg about a 5th or even a 4th to a team looking for an inexpensive LHD who can hit.
The first is nice, but it will be late so it has the value of a very good second.
Zadorov will not be needed next year when Power, Samuelsson and Bryson will vie for the last 2 LHD spots.
Finally, Thompson has demonstrated the ability to perform well for the past 4 seasons.
First in Rochester starting in 2018-'19 and 2019-'20 when he scored 14 goals in 27 games.
When he was recalled in early 2019 he was hurt and could not demonstrate he was ready.
Last year, Krueger handcuffed him, but once Granato was appointed HC, Thompson responded with 7 goals in the last 23 games.
This year he is on pace to 30 goals (10 in 27 games or 1/3 of the season)
You need to watch Thompson play, the best description of his performance was made by my son, <strong>"You know when he is on the ice."</strong>
He is perpetual motion, fast, strong, long reach, hard shot, unselfish, works hard.
<strong>I would pass on this trade, I think Thompson will flourish playing for Granato.</strong>
