Scouting Report Scouting Comments:
Thompson is much stronger on the offensive side of the game than the defensive side of the game to this point. He has good hockey sense with t e puck. His skating is average at best, which limits his puck rushing ability. However his vision allows him to make the smart, accurate pass up ice with consistency. His biggest asset is his shot from the point. He can score from the point; and has done so more than any other 2002 born CHLer with the exception of Lukas Cormier. He is most dangerous when he shows the patience to slow the game down, evade the pressuring forward and step into his
shot. (HockeyProspects Black Book)
Strengths:
One of the best shots from the blueline in OHL draft class and has good hockey sense with puck on his stick.
Weaknesses:
Simply must improve skating in order to transition to pro level, and needs to become tougher to play against defensively
