Thompson agreed to terms on a one-year deal with Barys Astana (KHL) on Wednesday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thompson has played in just 11 NHL games in his career, with the most recent appearance coming back in 2022-23 for the Devils. While the 2019 fourth-round pick put up decent numbers with AHL Bridgeport last season -- eight goals and 3 helpers in 65 outings -- it wasn't impressive enough to earn him a two-way deal with an NHL club. Instead, the Calgary native will give the KHL a shot for at least the upcoming campaign.

Thompson was waived by the Islanders on Saturday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thompson had three goals, 14 points and 54 PIM in 51 contests with AHL Bridgeport in 2023-24. The 25-year-old isn't likely to spend much time, if any, at the NHL level this season.

Thompson signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Islanders on Wednesday, per PuckPedia.
EDGE Analysis
Thompson was acquired by the Islanders in November of 2023 in a minor-league trade. The 24-year-old has just 11 games of NHL experience, and none of them came in 2023-24, so it's likely that he'll spend most of the upcoming campaign at AHL Bridgeport.

The Islanders obtained Thompson from New Jersey on Sunday in exchange for Arnaud Durandeau.
EDGE Analysis
Thompson has five assists in 15 games for AHL Utica this season. He will probably report to Bridgeport, which is New York's top minor-league affiliate, following the trade. Thompson picked up one assist, eight shots on goal, four blocked shots and seven hits in 11 NHL appearances with the Devils over the past three seasons.

Thompson was placed on waivers Saturday for the purpose of reassignment to the AHL, Chris Johnston of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
If he clears waivers, Thompson is poised to begin the 2023-24 campaign with AHL Utica again after tallying seven goals and 26 points in the AHL last season. The 24-year-old Thompson has played in 11 NHL games with the Devils over the previous three seasons, with his lone point (an assist) coming in 2020.

Thompson was recalled from AHL Utica on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
With the Comets this season, the 23-year-old Thompson has generated six goals and seven assists in 22 outings. If the young center does get into the lineup, it would likely come at the expense of Alexander Holtz, though Jesper Boqvist could also be in danger of being relegated to a spot in the press box.
