The 27-year-old Thompson played in three NHL games with the Devils last season. The 6-foot, 200-pound native of Methuen, Mass., recorded 13-22-35 in 56 games with the Albany Devils (AHL) in 2015-16. He added 3-1-4 in 10 playoff games.

Am I missing something here? Seems like two average joes for a second round pick and cap relief.

They people in the 'know' are saying Florida is about to do something big.  Perhaps a long term deal with Trochek and looking to re-sign Campbell, then some other moves that are nothing but rumours.

Florida is close to being very, very good, they might go 'all in' soon, I guess.

Yeah but what kind of cap space are they looking at? Stamkos cap space? They are already pretty deep at center. Who else could they be going after... I think they would be right to try and take advantage of their window. They will have to get someone to replace jagr

Didn't they just re-sign Jagr for 4.5 million?
