Ryder Thompson Facts
Thompson’s best moments occur on the breakout. He waits for forechecking pressure to arrive, then cuts back in the opposite direction. After escaping, he looks to the inside and cross-ice for options. He fakes shots on pass receptions before distribution, slips pucks through defenders when activating, and uses the occasional give-and-go to beat a defender while activating. -EliteProspects 2022 NHL Draft Guide
