Wow, holy hell. Is it just me, or does that feel like a monster return?

I thought so at first, but honestly it all depends on Thompson.  He seems like a boom or bust prospect to me.  The picks were to be expected, and Berglund and Sobotka are kinda just solid, yet overpaid role players.  I think it's a pretty fair trade for both sides.

Also, the Islanders are really not handling losing JT well.  

Leo Komorov for 4 years and just saw they signed Valteri Filppula, who was legit one of the worst forwards in the NHL last season. 

In fairness to them, I don't know what else they can do. This FA class is so very weak, and they had it all tied up into JT. Once they lost him, they were screwed. I could see the merit in punting the FA period to a degree, but they certainly aren't hurting on space and probably want to make it look like they are trying. 

Plus, Lou doesn't care. He won't be there in four years lol

Welcome to a Lou Lamoriello free agency.
