The Top 25 Under 25 is a collaboration by members of the Die By The Blade community. It was a combination of staff writers and over 600 readers that ranked Buffalo Sabres players under the age of 25 as of August 1, 2022. Each participant used their own metric of current ability and production to rank each player.
Everyone loves a glow-up story and Tage Thompson’s version of it is truly outstanding.
Last year, Thompson ranked No. 12 on Die By The Blade’s Top 25 Under 25 and there were serious questions about whether he was every going to bloom into a regular scorer at the NHL level or not.
