Player Discussion: Ben Thomas

[JoVel]

Thomas of course didn't get much ice time but I'd say he's deserved another look. Especially if it comes down to him vs Borgman.

I didn't yell at him once unlike Borgman so that's good.

 

[The Macho King]

I thought he was really solid. Could skate at this level, made good plays, moved the puck up fairly well. Obviously didn't ask much of him, but I think he's earned a longer look.

Dude has a five head.

Anyone but Borgman

 

[LightningStrikes]

Solid first game!

 

[Hoek]

I got his autograph at a fan fest so that's a plus too.

Very small sample size obviously but Thomas has shown impressive composure under pressure, nothing flashy but he has made some really nice little plays to get out of trouble. Things you'd see from a seasoned vet. Can't read into things too much but I like what I see so far.

 

[Henkka]

Went to Sweden for last season 2021-22, struggled first at Leksand (7th defenceman) but was better on a stronger Växjö team (2nd highest mins).

Now signed with Tappara in Finland.

Any insights about him?
