he had 10 points the year before

feel free to visit a few other chat rooms once in a while to see what they think of their players

- homiedclown


12 in 33 last year 42 in 66 the year before... and came back up to reality this year with above a ppg.

I had him on my fantasy team I know what to think of him

He does everything from hitting to scoring. Solid player.

I think if they want to lock him up long term, thomas just raised the bar 2 mil per

Yes, Thomas is a two way player, more like a Toews than a Tage, but it will completely eliminate any chance of a 5.5-6 per

8 years $7 million would be over double his total value of active contracts

I completely agree with this thread from our former blogger.

Idk how to word this eloquently so I'll just blurt it. I agree with being patient, but a big reason why the Sabres were a 45% XG team is cause they keep trying to make guys like Mittelstadt and Jokiharju work. They've played 200 games, is the plan to hope everyone is Tage? (1/?)

Hes not a great Center but it was also his first full season at the position. Im sure he'll grow into it.

Hoping his faceoff #'s take a jump this year

- DirtyDan


I completely understand that. That is why I want to see him do it again. 1 more year.

If he scores 35 again and has a similar season. Pay the man his money.

Free agency hasnt even started yet.

You have whined and cried for weeks....

Take a break if the pressure of being "funny" is getting to you.

You'll be driving the bandwagon

If you're KA do you lock Tage up with a long term extension now or do you wait to pay him and potentially have to pay him more?

Also, still blows my mind that just a couple of years ago we had the SSTT meme going and now its like... actually SSTT.

reinhart was a bust with better numbers


tage was 8th in goals for centers last year

that levels out the few extra points thomas got last year

A team with no playoffs in how long. Had 40 million in cap space. Number ranked prospect pool. And we aren't allowed to spend money.

Buffalo take note, this is how you rebuild

Debrincat Stützle Giroux
Tkachuk Norris Batherson

That is a top 6.

Biggest part of this deal is Berube absolutely loves thomas and sees him as the future, captain of the team. ROR, Tarasenko on last year, Perron gone.

No they paid him 8 cause he put up above a ppg. Had he not gotten above a ppg Thomas would have gotten less.

Unless your Hughes you gotta actually perform first

- DirtyDan


No, you pay people based on what you think they are going to do. This isn't new. That's why people complain every time a kid gets a big contract coming off of his rookie deal.

Clearly not as he had to put up a ppg before getting 8 million. Yes they think he can do it again. But he had to do it first.
