He won 60% of his faceoffs and was averaging over two hits a game. What else are you expecting him to do as a 4th line centre in the playoffs?
If you signed him for offence or shutting down other teams top players, that’s on your coaching staff and management, not him.
Faceoffs really don't mean THAT much...not enough to endure Nate Thompson, at least

Honestly, can this stuff just die?
He did score 15 points on the 4th line, I don’t know what’s the average for a 4th liner but I would guess you can’t expect much more. He was using his physicality along the boards to make some plays with the habs and he can pass the puck good enough.Because he doesn’t do anything well except for taking faceoffs.
People who are saying this isn't that bad doesn't know Paul Maurice. If Thompson was here to sit in the press box and play in emergency situations, fine, but he will play, and he will play in favor of younger more talented players. That's why a lot of us Jets fans don't like it, because we've watched this happen year after year.
That's not nice to say about Nate Thompson. I don't like the guy, but he has a right to live, man.
Softest team in the league imo. It's been a dramatic transition from 4 years ago. So in that sense, you're correct.Jets needs this kind of player. Lets face it, forward group is too soft. There is no effective and young player in jets roster who can play physical game in 4th line.
Yep to bad it did not work here in Philly.4 years sober and another year in the show. Happy all around for Nate.
So it's a lock Paul Maurice will love him.The worst Flyer I have watched in years, so glad he’s done.
Old Slow and Awful.

9th different team in his career. Kind of impressive.
