Thomas inked a one-year contract with KooKoo (Finland) on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas last saw action in the NHL back in 2015-16 when he made one appearance for the Coyotes. After two years playing overseas, the 2010 second-round pick is unlikely to make his way back to North America and figures to eventually retire having played in 27 NHL games for the Rangers, Canadiens and Coyotes in which he garnered one goal and two assists. Thomas also played in six games for Canada in the 2018 Olympics when NHL players were unavailable.

Thomas inked a deal with Roble BK of the Swedish league on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Since being taken in the second round of the 2010 NHL Draft (Rangers), Thomas has spent the bulk of his time in the minors, although he does have 27 NHL appearances under his belt. Playing on a minor-league deal last season, the winger racked up 34 points in 51 games for AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. The 26-year-old will now test his luck in Europe -- his first stint overseas.

Thomas was sent to AHL Springfield on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas has played for four different teams this year, spending 33 games in the AHL in the Montreal and Arizona systems and recording 10 goals and 21 points while adding two assists in six NHL games, five for the Canadiens and one for the Coyotes. The former second round pick has been bounced around a lot, but at 23-years-old, still has time to make an impact.

Thomas was recalled from AHL Springfield on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas was previously acquired from the Canadiens in December for fellow minor league forward Lucas Lessio. Since then, he's registered three goals and four assists at Springfield while waiting for his next chance to make the big league. He hasn't exactly shined at the top level in his career, with three points in 26 career games, so he'll figure to begin his Coyotes tenure deeper in the depth chart.

Thomas was traded to Arizona in exchange for Lucas Lessio on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas tallied two assists through five games played with the Canadiens this season, as well as seven goals and seven assists in 18 games with AHL St. John's. He will report to Arizona's AHL affiliate, Springfield.

Thomas was reassigned to AHL St. John's on Sunday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas' return to the minors could indicate that Torrey Mitchell (lower body) is on the cusp of returning to the lineup. Thomas didn't see action in either of the last two contests, and he'll now return to the minors where he should receive more consistent playing time.

Thomas assisted on Montreal's first goal in Tuesday night's 2-1 win over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas was playing in his second straight game since being called up from St. John's, skating on the fourth line. He'll be in the active lineup until Torrey Mitchell (lower body) is ready, but could stick around as an extra forward with Alexander Semin (lower body) and Brandon Gallagher (finger) dealing with injuries.

Thomas was in the active lineup Saturday, skating at right wing on the fourth line in a 3-2 overtime loss to New Jersey.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas, who had three shots on goal in 9:07, replaced George "Bud" Holloway, who was sent back down to St. John's of the American Hockey League. Until Torrey Mitchell is ready to return, Thomas should be in line for fourth-line minutes.

Thomas was recalled by the Canadiens on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

He will add depth at forward, with a rash of injuries on the front line. In 18 games last season Thomas had just one goal, so his role should be pretty limited.

The Canadiens assigned Thomas to St. John's of the American Hockey League.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas played in a career-high 18 regular season games with the Canadiens last year, but finished with just one goal. The 23-year-old will now head back to the AHL to continue his development. If called back up to the Canadiens at some point this season, expect him to add depth at the forward position.
