Tage Thompson will be joining the Buffalo Sabres growing youth movement after the team acquired the young forward late Sunday night.
Thompson was a part of the Ryan O’Reilly deal that sent the veteran center to the St. Louis Blues. In return, the Sabres would acquire Vladimir Sobotka, Patrik Berglund, a 2020 second round draft selection and a 2019 first round draft selection to go along with Thompson.
The Blues selected Thompson with the 26th pick in the 2016 NHL Draft as a true freshman out of UConn.
