New Jersey Devils Re-Sign F Tyce Thompson, Avoiding Arbitration

The New Jersey Devils announced today they have re-signed F Tyce Thompson to a two-year contract:

It is a two-way deal in the first year and one-way in year two, carrying an average annual value of $762,500. Tyce, the younger brother of Tage Thompson, was a fourth-round pick of the Devils in 2019. The former captain for the Providence College Friars scored 94 points in 101 NCAA matches. He has one assist in 9 games with New Jersey and 19 points in 27 AHL games.

Even if the offense hasn't quite shown up, Thompson has shown capable of driving pace at the NHL level. The 23-year old center looks to earn a full-time job in a jam-packed Devils' forward group. The Devils feature a young, but talented offense, and if Tyce can turn out to be anything like his older brother Tage the Devils will be absolutely loaded with offensive weapons.
