The Philadelphia Flyers continue to add toughness and veteran presence to their lineup and are looking to an old friend to help bring it. The Flyers signed Nate Thompson to a one-year, $800,000 contract on Wednesday on the first day of free agency.
Thompson is no stranger to Philadelphia, appearing in seven regular season contests and 16 playoff games for the Flyers during the abbreviated 2019-20 season.
