Who, Lassi Thompson? Guy had like no value lmao

Hometown kid? Chychrun is born and raised in Florida

Family lives in Ottawa region, he’s a dual citizen. Spent summers and some holidays in the Ottawa area and his grandparents live there. Trained in the summers there. I guess not really “hometown kid” but rather has ties to the area. Spent a lot of time there, skating lessons etc.

Lol Lassi Thomson had no shot of making this team, who cares where he was picked? It also has nothing to do with their cap at all? He wasn't good enough to waste a roster spot on lmao

Yeah but your proposed deal in this ACGM would make him a much bigger idiot, like by a lot


So your solution is an even bigger mismanagement from Ottawa?


Brodie is also EIGHT (8) years older... the difference in value between the 2 is HUGE...

Proposing 3rd, 4th and 5th round picks for that difference is lower than a LOWBALL. Then you have the 2.3 retention on Chychrun, this proposal is ridiculous no matter how you slice it (not saying you do)


Fringe NHL players have no value at this moment of the year because all teams have non-waivers exempt players. That's why you should absolutely have PLANNED to find a way to keep a guy that just turned 23 y/o last week.

Lassi Thomson got picked up by the team who had the FIRST choice. Plenty of teams would have picked him up, this is literally a freebie from Ottawa. Dorion is the worst GM in the NHL (for a million reasons), he signed Hamonic on a 2 years deal with a NMC which actually BLOCKED Thomson to a NHL path. We could have had the luxury to carry Thomson on the NHL roster and rotate him with JBD (and sit Hamonic) but the cap situation just doesn't allow it because of Dorion perpetual mismanagement (we have 5 M$ in DEAD cap)

Regardless of all the stupid comments, throwing away 1st and 2nd round picks will bite you in the arse . trust me I have seen TML do it for 45 years.
If you can't keep the young talent to see if they improve it is just ruining the team and any chances of winning a cup.
