ESPN’s Craig Custance reported Tuesday morning that there are teams interested in Tim Thomas and that the veteran will make a decision soon. Thomas, Custance reports, could make a decision as early as Tuesday. Thomas is in discussion with multiple teams, according to the report.
Thomas hasn’t played since the 2011-12 season when he was in between the pipes for the Bruins, the only team he’s played for in his NHL career. Thomas then opted to take the (eventually lockout-shortened) 2013 season off, saying he needed a year to focus on things away from the game instead. His rights were eventually traded to the New York Islanders last season, and he became a free agent after the 2013 season.
Thomas played 59 games in 2011-12, going 35-19-1 with a 2.36 goals against average and a .920 save percentage. He won the Vezina Trophy in 2009 and 2011 with the Bruins, leading the B’s to their first Stanley Cup win in almost four decades in 2011.
