Nate Thompson’s offensive inefficiency outweighed his penalty kill ability for the Flyers during the postseason.
As the trade deadline approached the Flyers looked to sure up their penalty killing and add depth at center. They would add Nate Thompson from the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for a sixth-round pick in an attempt to address those needs.
Thompson was thought to be a hard working player who could win faceoffs and kill penalties. He would play seven uneventful games in the regular season before the Covid-19 lock down.
