Chuck Fletcher’s focus on building a strong locker room continues. The Philadelphia Flyers announced on Wednesday that Nate Thompson has officially signed with the team, returning to Philly after spending a year with the Jets.
The 36-year-old appeared in 44 games for Winnipeg last year, putting up 5 points in that time. He was originally acquired by the Flyers at the 2020 trade deadline and played in seven games before the season halted. When play resumed, he ended up being a key cog in the team that went on to play in 16 postseason games, averaging 12:37 of ice time and winning 60.
