[Trade] Kings trade Nate Thompson, 2019 5th-round pick to Canadiens for 2019 4th-round pick


Recommended Posts

I like the moves MTL is making. They know they are not a tier 1 team this year. So they are not selling the farm for rentals. They are getting some good depth and hoping to win a round or two. 

I mean anything could happen but they are not delusional.

Old, slow guy but is good on the pk and on the draw. Won't give you any offense and probably isn't gonna last another 3 years in the NHL. 

Still, a bargain deal for the Habs to improve their 4th line. 

He’s only signed through this season. So his long term performance isn’t much of a concern.  And they gave up practically nothing to get him

Montreal has lost 3 players to waivers so far this season.  I could potentially see them losing another 2 once they put a player on waivers to fit in Thompson. Plus Byron will be back from IR soon so they’ll have to put someone else on waivers (barring a trade). Two of Chaput/Hudon/Peca/Deslaurier could find themselves in new uniforms soon

Yeah sorta.

 

They are not ground breaking.  Just depth.
