The Boston Bruins might be trying to deal Tim Thomas, but thus far, he hasn't been asked to waive his no-trade clause, the Boston Globe reports, and there might not even be a team willing to take on his contract.
Two league executives told the Ottawa Sun's Bruce Garrioch that Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli has talked with teams needing goaltending help about Thomas, but CSN writes that he might be immovable.
CSN's Joe Haggerty says, "No other team in the NHL would have giventhe 35-year-old goaltender the four-year, $20 million contract awardedto Thomas after his Vezina Trophy-winning season last winter. The pactwas announced just as Thomas was putting the finishing touches on thatseason, and there was a healthy amount of sentimentality within thecontract."
Oh, but let's fuel this boat a little. NESN's James Murphytweeted last weekend that he sat next to Blackhawks scouts in the pressbox, speculating that they may be looking at Thomas. Garrioch predictsthe Blackhawks might be interested, if they're willing to send Cristobal Huet to the minors to get his contract off the books.
