    B's shopping Tim Thomas?

    The notion that Tim Thomas(notes) could go from Vezina Trophy to trade bait for goal-scoring help is jarring.

    Not in the sense that Tuukka Rask(notes) would have won the job, because he's earned it and it was going to happen eventually. Rather, in the sense that they'd be able to actually move an old (in hockey years) goalie with a four-year, guaranteed contract worth $20 million and a pesky a no-trade clause.

    Very very doubtful.
    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all
    true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
    mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

      Maybe, but I can't take the word of anybody who really thought Tim Thomas is the best goaltender in the league either...

        He's practically unmovable with that contract, especially for a goalie who can't play 60 games a season.
