Veteran Forward Nate Thompson Released from PTO

Thompson, 37, is a veteran of 844 NHL games, and this appears to be the last stop in the big league for him.

With just 164 points over his career, offense has never been Thompson's forte, but he was always a reliable bottom-sixer who could provide capable depth. Now, it looks like his playing career is in its dog days.

Perhaps, Thompson can squeeze a little more dough out of his career if he played in the minors, but his days in the NHL are over.
