Thomas has played just one of the Kings' last 20 games after being scratched again in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Maple Leafs.
Scouting Report
Has great speed, which he uses frequently in all three zones. Owns good vision and playmaking skills, too, and also shoots the puck with purpose. Is a dynamic forward, overall. Does not have optimum size for a National Hockey League forward, so he needs to add more bulk and get a lot stronger in order to maximize output at the highest level.
Long Range Potential: Talented, speedy forward with upside.
