St. Louis Blues 2017-18 Final Report Card: Tage Thompson

When the St. Louis Blues drafted Tage Thompson in 2016, there was a lot of hope mixed with some reality. Everyone raved about his hands and his skating ability. The knocks against him were his strength and size (not height).

In his rookie campaign, we saw it all with Thompson. We saw why he was so highly touted and could be an extremely good NHL player. We also saw why he is considered so raw and even the most novice among us could see that he is a definite work in progress.

Most of us knew his size, in terms of height, would be an asset.
