Buds Board Keepers League

IMO, Rask has a point.

He showed that he could be a top 10 starter in this league two years ago. He's been patient. Other goalies would have requested a trade or said something already. Thomas is 38 next month. He's amazing, no doubt. But he's 38.

Heres the article:

It's not a big deal, if the Bruins are forced to make a decision they will pick Tuuka, and rather easily. He is the future, Thomas is on his last legs.

Thomas realistically has about 2-3 years left. Like previously said TR is the future. Timmy will be shipped out for a young goalie to backstop TR and some other assets.

Nah, Tim Thomas will retire a Bruin. I cannot see them moving him at all.. the Bruins have enough assets to let Thomas retire in Bean-town. I'd be shocked if they traded him.

I dont know man. In a way i hope you are right but if Tuukka starts kickin up a storm they will be pressed. I know Thomas wants to retire a Bruin because he has always said he respects the opportunity he was given. Hope everything is all merry and works out in the end.

I just feel it would be disrespectful to Thomas if they moved him for futures considering what he's done for the Bruins

Very true!

I think the only way Tim Thomas plays for another NHL team is if he so chooses to. I could never see Boston's management moving Thomas. Chia and co are a very respectful and as professional as they come group!
