2025 Fantasy Outlook
Thompson set career highs in 2022-23 with 47 goals and 94 points before dipping to 29 goals and 56 points in 2023-24. Thompson entered 2024-25 with something to prove, and he largely delivered, providing 44 markers and 72 points across 76 appearances. However, his shooting percentage jumped to 18.2, which is notably above his career average of 13.6, and the number of high-danger shots he took collapsed to 38 last year compared to his 87 in 2022-23. His expected goals in 2024-25 were 24.5, marginally above his 24.2 from 2023-24, and well below his 34.2 from 2022-23. His offensive production last season might have been due to puck luck far more than it was in 2022-23. Rather than 2024-25 representing a bounce-back, it might be a bit of a red herring, and he could regress closer to his 29-goal, 56-point showing in 2023-24 this year. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a seven-year, $50 million contract extension with the Sabres in August of 2022.
Supplies helper Sunday
Thompson notched an assist and three shots on goal in Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Lightning.
ANALYSIS
Thompson had gone eight games without an assist, though he was more than fine on offense with eight goals in that stretch. He set up a Jiri Kulich tally in the first period of Sunday's defeat. Thompson has been arguably the Sabres' best player this season with 44 goals, 28 assists, 235 shots on net, 69 hits and a plus-2 rating over 74 appearances. He'll likely close out the campaign on the top line.

Thompson had high expectations entering the season after erupting for 47 goals and 94 points across 78 outings in the 2022-23 campaign. He only produced 29 goals and 56 points over 71 games in 2023-24, making him one of the biggest fantasy disappointments of the year. Thompson also plummeted from 20 power-play goals to nine while falling behind in both shot generation and finishing ability. Still, the Arizona native surpassed 245 shots on target for the third straight campaign and registered 21 points, including 11 goals, in his final 18 outings. Thompson is expected to be ready for training camp after sustaining a lower-body injury in Buffalo's regular-season finale. He is a good bet to rebound in 2024-25, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him return to being a point-per-game player.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Headed for Worlds
Thompson will join Team USA for the 2025 IIHF World Championship, Luke Fox of Sportsnet reports Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Thompson missed out on the 4 Nations Face-Off and will be trying to earn a spot with the United States at the 2026 Winter Olympics. Considering the 27-year-old center racked up 44 goals this season, his second 40-plus goal season in the last three years, he certainly would offer some offensive upside for the Americans.
