Where is our Tage Thompson?

[netboy65]

Probably shouldn't jump in.

But this weed guy is right. We pulled nothing from our top cup players.

I can't think of any trade were we gave little and gained so much. But everyone of our top player were about given away.


Didn't name the Blais trade because posters are judging trades by what happened with a pick, instead of just the pick. So,
The second we traded with Blais. Turn into Andrew Copp. Who scored 18pts in 16 games and a vital part of the rangers division finals playoff run with another 16pts. And a 6'7 center Dylan Roobroeck with high potential, who hits, fights, passes, thinks, he led hartford in goals last year his first there. So while I haven't looked up every trade or the trade line of every pick we traded. I. guessing that Bunch/Blaise trade might be a loss when all said and done. At least the way some are being judged. Odd way to judge a trade.

Side note. it's crazy how much some of you will fight, call names, and be kinda vile, to prove Army's the greatest at every aspect of the game of hockey. It's not that serious.

How are you determining the Blues "pulled nothing from our top cup players"

Detroit acquires Husso for '22 3rd round pick (Kaskimaki)
NYR acquire Mikkola/Tarasenko '24 3rd rnd (Jecho), '23 1st rnd pick (Lindstein)
Sammy Blais, 2nd rnd pick to NYR = Buchnevich
TOR acquires Noel Acciari for '23 1st rnd pick (Stenberg); '24 2nd (Lukas Fischer), Gaudette, Abramov
LV acquires Barbie for Dean
Montreal acquires Jake Allen/'22 7th for '20 3rd rnd pick (Dylan Peterson) '20 7th rnd pick (Noah Beck)

The Blues won a cup, covid pretty much costs the Blues a run at at least one more title. Aging players are cashed in for picks, a couple down years and the franchise has regained traction with great young players. Not sure what there to complain about

These guys don’t comprehend development time. Dean should be a Top 6 center already as good as Thompson even though he’s 22. Stenberg and Lindstein are worth nothing even though they’re just 20. It’s not even worth the conversation.

Yep, moronic if they are sincere but that's probably not the case just moving their lips to hear themselves talk and stir it up.

One more point to ponder…
If we end up not getting any prospect with NHL value in letting all of our star cup players walk—then why did we let them go?

Wasn’t that the whole point of it?

Ooh ooh! Teacher me! Me!

To not win meaningless games right?

Your next moniker should be Brick Wall, because that’s what it’s like trying to discuss anything with you. You have been told hundreds of times by now - they received legitimate NHL valued prospects via those picks in exchange for those players. That you refuse and refuse and refuse to acknowledge it does not make it any less true. You’re like Pee Wee Herman with his fingers in his ears screaming “La la la la la…”

[imyourhuckleberry]

The Blues gave up prospect Tage Thompson to get ROR for their Stanley Cup run.

The Blues then lost Pietrangelo, ROR, Tarasenko, Barbashev, and Schwarz to other teams for their playoff runs.

Where is our young "Tage Thompson" in return for all of those players that we gave up?

Can somebody ask Army?

Holloway.

The draft pick capital and cap space made that possible.

Done.

GTFOH

It’s amazing the degree to which fans will make up excuses for Army.

Yeah how dare Army acquire a 60+ point 23 year old.

You need to find yourself a girl mate. You would be significantly less miserable.

And you continue deflecting and spinning when I respond to your questions. Back to my question, how do you compare trades when the player you wanted to use as your benchmark of success has a seven year head start? How do you know what the players we received will be after they have been professionals for seven years?

As I have said numerous times to the many Army moms out there...
The final chapter regarding our prospects has not been written yet. One or more of our prospects may turn into something (like Tage Thompson) in 1-5 years, etc. While this is true, it is also very true that the LONGER IT TAKES FOR A PROSPECT to make the NHL, the LESS IMPACT they will eventually bring. It is also very true, that none of them sound like a sure bet thus far.

However, AT THE CURRENT TIME, we have no NHL-level help in return for ALL OF THE STAR PLAYERS THAT LEFT from the 2019 Cup Team. We received JACK SQUAT thus far.

Let's see what young prospect Florida gets for Sam Bennett. Let's see how long it takes for that young prospect to appear the NHL.

I wish someone paid to do research could compare the value returned from the re-whatevers that have taken place over the last 10 years in the NHL. IMO, Army's re-whatever is looking like a disaster. Army blew a gasket last February and threatened another sell-off if things didn't improve. In other words, we were one loose Sunquvist tooth from initiating RE-WHATEVER 2, the sequel.

Lol multi screen names how weird

Harry' S Deal's sock puppet is Harry S Gibberish. He used the wrong puppet for this reply.

Facts are facts....

Thus far, for all of the star talent that left from the 2019 team, the only new thing skating for us is Jack Squat.

Sam Bennett is a UFA. If he leaves Florida ain’t getting squat

[ChiefSTL]

I know I’m wasting my time but it’s also extremely rare to see a trade that works out the way the ROR trade did, where each team ends up with a major win of some kind. We got the Cup. They got a star. The only other one that comes to mind is Nieuwendyk for Iginla. Dallas got their Cup and Calgary got a future HOFer.

So let's replay how good our transactions were.

Vegas got Pietrangelo and Barbashev, and they won a Stanley Cup.
The Blues got nothing for either player.

Toronto got ROR and they won their first playoff round in 19 years.
The Blues got some prospects that haven't made it to the NHL yet, much less make any sort of impact.

Tage Thompson is a prospect that paid off. Buffalo has 1 very beautiful bird in hand in exchange for ROR. St louis has 6 prospects in the bush for all of the stars of their 2019 Cup.

The fact that you actually wrote this should disqualify you from ever posting about the Blues again. You really said that Toronto got ROR and won a playoff round, then completely ignore that we got ROR and won a Stanley Cup?

Sabres record with Tage Thompson: 227-252
Army's record since trading Thompson: 287-190

You're dumb, but you know that.

It's not easy to deal with the result of declining test scores in schools.

I SAID NOTHING about the trade of ROR for Thompson. That was a fine deal.

This discussion is about what happened AFTER THAT!!! When we traded ROR and everyone else on the 2019 team!

The Sabres record and the Blues record are immaterial to this discussion. Only a low-test-score person would even mention that.

[DawgDad]

Illogical as it can be. His whole screed is based on SUPPOSITION that the Blues got NOTHING in those trades. The Blues got WHAT THEY WANTED --- picks and prospects. Period. End of story.

Oh, but it won't be.

[Harry S Deals]

Why in the world would Army have resigned Perron, Tank, ROR, Mikkola even AP? The Blues got market value for these guys while they could. The Blues made a run, won a Cup and did the right thing, cashed in their overpriced aging vets and started over with younger players. Didnt we just witness this plan working? Building around Thomas/Kyrou and co. No brainer, Army is one of the best GMs in the NHL the Blues are doing it right, great times ahead

Of course you didn't say anything about the trade, because it doesn't fit your agenda. You mentioned the success that the Knights and Leafs had with their trades though. Stop pretending that you actually want to discuss anything. Posts like this when you pick and choose what you want to present make it painfully obvious.

[DawgDad]

The answer to the question in the subject line is clear and concise: Robert Thomas.

The Blues had two young center prospects, they converted one via trade for immediate help. They kept Thomas, they traded Thompson.

The Blues led by Robert Thomas just made the playoffs propelled by a record-setting win streak. They took the President's Trophy team to 2OT in Game 7, utterly destroying them in the three games in St. Louis. Perhaps some day Tage Thompson can lead a playoff team, or even a winning team, we'll see. Not that I care. I do not.
