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.
Goal streak at six games
Thompson scored an empty-net goal and placed two shots on target in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Hurricanes.
ANALYSIS
Thompson's empty-net tally brought his goal streak up to six games. With the twine finder, the 28-year-old center has 12 goals, 21 points and 84 shots on net through 22 appearances this season. During his impressive run of play, he has six goals and nine points in his last six contests. Thompson's shooting percentage has skyrocketed during the goal streak and currently sits at 14.1 percent, which is close to his career average. Fantasy managers who drafted him have been rewarded for their patience, as Buffalo's top-line center has shown no signs of slowing down lately. Regardless of when his streak ends, Thompson could be on his way to hitting the 80-point mark for the second time in his career if he can stay healthy.

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.
