The Vancouver Canucks have placed 24-year-old defenceman Jack Thompson on NHL waivers for the purpose of assigning him to the AHL's Abbotsford Canucks. Thompson had missed the team's training camp due to an injury suffered prior to camp, but his waiver placement signals he is now ready to return to game action.
Originally drafted by the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2020, Thompson joined the Canucks organization last season via trade from the San Jose Barracuda. He has recorded 104 points across 217 career AHL games and has made 34 appearances at the NHL level.
