Not exactly him but someone cheap to provide depth and guy who can kill penalties and is very very good at faceoffs. I like this I have to say. Only a 5th. Yes good move Chuckles. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyercanuck Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Meh. Better than trading a 1st 2nd and 3rd for Pageau. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachX Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Wash...rinse....repeat A nothing trade for a nothing player who will do nothing to help this team advance Waste of time. At least they gave up NOTHING for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCFlyguy Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 They gave up the chance to draft another Lindblom in the 5th round. That being said, I'm not too upset about this trade. No term on the contract and it could have been worse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post yave1964 Posted February 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 24, 2020 And now Derek Grant from the Ducks for a 4th. Thompson is one dimensional, a defensive forward with little if any offensive ability, Grant however can score a bit and can play pretty much anywhere in the bottom six, winger or center. Big guy, plays big, loves to play the body, sneaky shot. Should be a god fit. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyersFan4Life Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Not liking either these trades. Pretty much ho-hum doesn't add much of anything. The Caps got more dangerous the Penguins got more dangerous. I would love to see them trade ghost to Toronto for kap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FD19372 Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Low risk, high reward. He (and Grant) bring physicality that this team needs, as we get closer to dare I say.... the playoffs. There, I said it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has 14 points (four goals, ten assists) in 63 games played, with a 48.66% Corsi-for percentage at 5-on-5, which isn’t amazing but is better than both Tyler Pitlick and Connor Bunnaman’s 5-on-5 CF%. Thompson’s contract is only for the 2019-20 season, so this is almost certainly a rental move for the club. The pick is for 2021, so this is a very no-risk move for the Flyers to make.

LegionOfDoom Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Salaheddine Hoblos @Sal_Hoblos · 45m Replying to @NHLFlyers Many Flyers fans seem to underestimate Thompson. Great veteran, great faceoff and PK guy, gets you the important goals, blocks shots... He does all the small details that some teams are missing. Trust me, you won't regret that one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they have options in the offseason they can still address and not block the youth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
