After he's announced that he is going to take a season off, is he actually tradable, or are teams going to steer WAY clear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBlueGED Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Well that's interesting! After he's announced that he is going to take a season off, is he actually tradable, or are teams going to steer WAY clear? My guess is a budget team acquires him to get to the cap floor. Assuming he doesn't come back his cap hit stays on the books....but obviously they don't need to pay him. That's a match made in heaven for a cheap owner.

Sabres Fan in NS Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Bruins Chiarelli says Tim Thomas has waived his no trade clause. Well that's interesting! After he's announced that he is going to take a season off, is he actually tradable, or are teams going to steer WAY clear? I have thought all along that what Thomas really meant, but could not say was ... he was not going to play for the Bruins next year. I expect an announcement soon ... Thomas is a Toronto Maple Leaf. No source, other than my gut feeling. Luongo in Toronto, Thomas in Philly, Rask in Boston Good plan, but I'd switch Luongo (Philly) and Thomas (Toronto).

Good plan, but I'd switch Luongo (Philly) and Thomas (Toronto). this not at all a bad thought... given Leafs to have what they think to be two good young goalies who still need maturing and length of obligations to Thomas as opposed Loungo, if your bias be Leafs success , not at all a bad idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 That's what is scary.....when a team only needs good goaltending to make it very good....it's only 1 guy you need to find. Philly tried it with Bryz....but there is nothing stopping them from admitting it isn't working, and pulling a Calgary deal by sending him and some draft picks to a team that needs to fill cap space like Blue said. Now you have 2 top goalies clearly available and 2 direct competitors looking to fill that void. Tampa, Minn and Columbus took care of their needs to a decent degree, so the bidding is limited and both Philly and Toronto have enough young talent to get something done that won't kill them.

apuszczalowski Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 My guess is a budget team acquires him to get to the cap floor. Assuming he doesn't come back his cap hit stays on the books....but obviously they don't need to pay him. That's a match made in heaven for a cheap owner. This is what I was thinking too, which kinda pisses me off because some team is going to turn around and take a problem off the Bruins hands to help them out. I really think there should be something to stop this because its similar to the whole Kovy issue of circumventing the cap. One of the bigger teams signs a big contract, later in the deal something happens and they can get out by dealing them to a cheap team that just wants them for their book keeping. If the player says they are going to sit out, the team they are worth should be stuck with the cap hit, or should not be permitted to move them. From what the Bruins GM said though, Thomas has said he won't be playing in '12/13 so I don't think they move him and he changes his mind and decides to play. I doubt that if he was going to do that, Boston would be willing to deal with Philly or Toronto as they are in the same division, unless Burke is dangling a few #1's again to the Bruins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taro T Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 With Carlyle gone it's more than likely. Ryan & Hiller for Miller > Loungo for Miller Late to this portion of the thread, but I'd take that deal all day and twice on Sunday. Not particularly inclined to send Miller packing, but that deal would make the Sabres a better team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per @darrendreger http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=399090 Good deal for both reams with Philly needing D because of Pronger uncertainty and Carle pending UFA. Schenn brothers now united in Philly. Toronto gets an excellent young Power Fwd in JVR to help boost their offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
