Huh?? We pretty much gave him away for two lottery tickets. He was already on a cheap contract. There must be a reason that we don’t know about

I guess they didn’t want to pay him next year. Sad to see him go, my Reverse Retro 2.0 is a Thompson.

Its gotta be to amass trade capital

This seems dumb it’s not for cap space since his contract is low. I know his contract is up next year feels like could of waited and got more later in the year

This is such a massive fail it’s not even funny. 3rds are meaningless. It’s going to cost an extra 2 million MINIMUM to sign a worse goalie. Just makes no sense for a team with cap troubles to trade their best value contract for 3rd’s.

Curious as to the thought process behind this, whether it be Injury concerns, looking to extend Hill over him, or faith in Patera. Compensation is fine but Thompson makes pennies on the dollar and cheap production is hard to come by.
Ultimately I think scheme and team defense is good enough to make any serviceable goalie play well in a tandem but it’s still sad to see him go. Forever a champion.

This fucking sucks and makes no sense. If you’re trying to clear cap space, why trade the cheapest player on the team. If you’re trying to amass draft picks, Adin Hill was being asked for too.
What the fuck Vegas

This trade doesn’t make sense. We traded a solid goalie peanuts and we really didn’t clear any cap space since we now have to replace him.

I have no fucking idea about what they are thinking. Thompson makes pennies and he’s a pretty decent goalie.
I trust our front office, but zero clues about what the fuck they’re thinking. Love Thompsy, sad to see him go.

Too many people in here still doubt our FO lol

Honestly, he wasn’t very consistent this year so not surprising we moved him just thought we would get more.

They better give us capfriendly access for this trade WHAT THE FUCK MAN

Drafted a racist and traded Logan. Quite a 24 hour span for the Knights. If the news hits that Marchy left comes in today it might kill someone.

I don’t get this at all. Major bummer.

Traded while in the building signing autographs for the fans. Never change, Kelly. Now we get to go find a backup who will more likely than not be worse and cost more. Win-win!
