The Winnipeg Jets are signing journeyman centre Nate Thompson to a one-year deal worth $750,000, according to Sportsnet's Eric Engels.

Thompson, 36, had 15 points and 30 penalty minutes in 70 games last season, split between the Montreal Canadiens and Philadelphia Flyers. In Winnipeg, he'll be joining his ninth NHL franchise in 14 years.

The Anchorage, Ak., native was a sixth-round selection in the 2003 draft.
