This is a mess, also the Sabres shouldn't trade Johnson.

I like your thought process.

IDK how many times I said we needed to be patient with Thompson as big players take longer to develop.
While there has been a certain amount of luck associated with his start, this will be a breakout season for him and Asplund.

it’s hard to follow, what are the sharks getting in the Hertl trade here? and the sharks would probably retain on Hertl to maximize the return FYI as we do have cap space this year.
