"A source told ESPN.com Thursday that the 38-year-old Boston Bruins netminder was contemplating taking next season off. Which doesn't mean he will, but it's something he's apparently raised (Pierre LeBrun, ESPN.com)."
Tim Thomas won't sit out, but one has to wonder if this is a strategic move by Thomas. No team will want to deal for him if they run the risk of Thomas just sitting out the year. Also, it could be to put pressure on the Bruins to give him a longer deal.
Honestly, I don't think it's a very smart move by Thomas. The Bruins and their system have made him a star. He is getting paid well next year, and the Bruins have good backups behind Thomas to be able to withstand the loss.
I don't know how true this story is, but I doubt much will come of it.
