<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gretzkyghosts</b></div><div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NR1203</b></div></div> While Thompson does not have a goal this year, he is the real deal.
If management believed Mittelstadt and Power could step up to be their #1 and #2 centers, they could consider this offer.
Two power forwards as Anderson and Tuch at RW would be interesting.

With Thompson, Skinner, Quinn, Okposo and Krebs scoreless after five games, the Sabres are still 4-1 and took down both the Oilers and Flames.
It may prove too destructive for the Sabres to move away from a player they just extended.
The Sabres would certainly pass on this offer even though it would give them five picks in the first two rounds this yea..</div></div>

Thompson's a very good player, sure, but we're talking about potentially 3 generational talents in this year's draft. He isn't worth that, especially with just 1 year of evidence behind him as a 30+ goal scorer. Buffalo would accept that without thinking twice, particularly if Montreal looks like a bottom-3 team.

Thread: Would you be happy with this
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BallPuckFellow10</b></div><div>Milano did have a good season for sure. Could see him complement JT &amp; Willy. Problem is what you do with Robertson then. Don't think playing on the 4th line will be good for his development or confidence. Maybe trade bait then?</div></div>

If a trade pops up for an impact forward of RHD I wouldn't be opposed to moving him, but assuming that doesn't happen I agree about not sticking him on the 4th line. I'd give him a look on the 3rd line, and maybe if Milano doesn't work out or runs into a cold stretch they could swap places.

Bunting-Matthews-Marner
Milano-JT-Nylander
Robertson-Engvall-Jarnkrok
LW - Kampf - Aube-Kubel

That 4LW could be Simmonds/Malgin/Anderson/Abruzesse
