The Ottawa Senators have been delivered a small blow as they lose a former top Defensive prospect
Sens Lose Defenseman On Waivers
Ottawa Senators Defenseman Lassi Thomson has been claimed off Waivers by the Anaheim Ducks, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Thomson, 23, is a former 1st Round Pick of the Senators, had 7 Goals and 33 Points in 56 Games for Ottawa's AHL affiliate, Belleville, last season, as well as appearing in 2 games for Ottawa. Thomson is a Right-Handed Defenseman.
Once one of the Sens top prospects, Thomson had struggled to find a place in a crowded Ottawa blueline, now having a chance to make one more push at an NHL roster for Anaheim, in a transitional period with their top Defensive youngsters still a bit away, their top young RHD's, Drew Helleson & Tristan Luneau still a bit away.
Thomson, now an Anaheim Duck, has 18 Career NHL Games with 5 Assists in 2 Seasons. Thomson was Drafted 19th Overall by Ottawa in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft. Thomson has one year remaining on his contract, an entry-level deal at $863k for 2023-24.
