The 6-foot-1, 207-pound centre also won 53.1 per cent of his faceoffs and should slot in on the Canadiens’ fourth line. The Canadiens will be hoping Thompson and Weise can help improve their fourth line, which has been struggling both offensively and defensively. But I think he’s the type of player that could definitely fit into our group and help.”Spoke with Dale Weise after the @RocketLaval practice. I think he’s pretty familiar with all the staff that we have here, so it should be pretty comfortable for him. Kind of growing up, I think he’s just gained a lot of experience.
