Thomson was waived by the Devils on Tuesday, James Mirtle of The Athletic Toronto reports.

EDGE Analysis

A power forward listed at 6-foot-3 and 215 pounds, Thomson is likely to clear waivers and make his way back to AHL Albany, where he produced 10 points and 90 PIM over 72 regular-season contests last season. It's generally ill-advised to put too much stock in a player who gets waived during the season.

Thomson agreed to terms on a one-year, two-way deal with the Devils on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Thomson spent the last three seasons in the AHL, until finally seeing NHL action in the Devils' final three regular-season games last year. The 24-year-old only managed 10 points for the Albany Devils last season, but racked up 90 penalty minutes. Thomson will have a difficult time to standout amongst all of the Devils' young talent to make the final 23-man roster.

Thomson was demoted to AHL Albany on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Thomson was recalled for the last few games of the Devils' season, but didn't do much over three contests. He will now head back to AHL Albany, where he's collected nine points over 69 games this season, to finish out the AHL club's campaign. The 24-year-old enters the offseason as a restricted free agent, so there's no guarantee he remains with the club next season.

Thomson was recalled from AHL Albany and will be in the lineup for Tuesday night's matchup with the Flyers, Andrew Gross of The Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thomson makes his NHL debut Tuesday after almost three full seasons with the AHL's Devils and as the NHL's Devils cruise towards the end of the season without a playoff berth. The 24-year-old winger had just nine points during his campaign in the minors but did rack up 86 penalty minutes, establishing him as more of a physical enforcer.
