‘Thompson is coming to a younger team in Buffalo. He said that will be an advantage for him, “I’m real excited, I was a little thrown off when I got traded, but just soaked it up last night and I think it’s a really good fit for me. In St. Louis, they rely on their veteran guys, so I was pigeon-holed in a sense where I didn’t get to play a lot or get to play the game I like to play, so I’m excited to come to a new team with some young players where I can just go out there, have fun and make some mistakes and help the team win.”’
