Dee Karl: A Goalie Named Thomas He's BAAAACCCCKKKKK

Tim Thomas is A trainwreck. He only came out of his bunker because Jon Stewart is on the 3 month vacation from The Daily Show and he felt that it was time that he could come out and try to marryGreta Van Susteren

What are the implications if the Islanders sign him? I know they're not going to toll his deal so he will become a UFA. Do the Isles have to give the Bruins a draft pick if they sign Thomas? If Thomas plays for anyone this season, does Thomas cost the Isles a draft pick?

For a team that was chided for having three goalies and a crowded crease to go to having no NHL starting goalie is a bit surprising

Is it really Dee?

Thomas will sign with the Flyers... 2 years, 6 million!!!

Nabby will be back for one more season... split the games with Poulin.

Once he hits free agency, I believe all bets are off.
Conditional pick only applied while he was Islanders "property."

Philly....interesting!!!

Your reasoning makes sense but I'm hoping for a younger goalie and a few free agent pickups...

I would Heff to think Snow talks to Bryz as well...

Poulin and DP are opening night starters.

If there is one team who should have went out and got Schneider, it was philly. That team has been a goalie away from greatness for sooooo long. Paul Holmgren is an idiot.

Beginning to see that more and more. The Streit signing sealed it for me.

I wouldn't be surprised. I would be unhappy but not surprised.
Goalie market dwindling. Not locking Nabby up when he had the chance could come back to haunt him or cost more $$$$. Since Garth always cites he does his due diligence, I wonder if he even spoke with Tim Thomas' agent at some point after the season ended, as was his right to do so- just to get a tempreature of what TT might want or to gauge interest in playing on LI.

Just resign Nabby.....he likes the team, had 2nd highest number of wins this year (tied with a couple guys) and is dependable. If you can make a trade later on do it, got to keep moving forward this year. Id rather Nabby then a UFA signing like Jose Theodore...and it feels that's where we are headed.

Source close to Danny Briere says #Isles among teams interested. Briere will choose finalists soon. "Wants a top-6 spot, wants to win."

Maybe he can teach Frans how to crosscheck his own head so Briere doesn't have to do it going forward.

Anyone considered offering a tryout to Pascal LeClair??

By not tolling his contract or trading his rights the conditional pick is void. Thomas is a free man.

I would imagine approximately zero NHL teams considered offering a tryout to a retired goaltender with no right hip that wasn't very good to begin with.

No, if we sign him for next season we owe the Bruins nothing.
