On a Buffalo Sabres roster with goal scorers like Jack Eichel, Taylor Hall, and Victor Olofsson and grinders like Curtis Lazar and Cody Eakin, players under the category of “What is his fit?” can include Tage Thompson. The 23-year-old forward is now in his third season with the organization after being acquired from St. Louis in July 2018 as part of the Ryan O’Reilly trade.
