eretz canucks Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 NY Islanders, home of the washed up, former elite goaltenders! Featuring former Sharks star Evgeni Nabokov, Boston College alum and 1st overall draft pick Rick Dipietro, and now, the Conn Smythe winning, tea partying, Chick-Fil-A loving Tim Thomas!

theminister Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Or goes on to win the Vezina and Conn Smythe... Boston will be back in the finals again this year. I'm calling it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suolucidir Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 They dump cap and pick up a 2nd round pick for a player who was never going to suit up for them again. Slam dunk for the B's. The Isles... 2nd round pick just to reach the floor? Seems to me this move made sense for the B's even if it was a 7th rounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goalie13 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Imagine if Thomas decided to report? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHIPS Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 maybe the islanders wanted thomas's cap hit to reach the floor and then they can suspend him. or its a conditional based on him signing an extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hfbat Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Too bad this didn't happen 2 years sooner. Thomas won Boston the cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdeath Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Oh how the mighty have fallen. The trade might as well have been the old "future considerations" because I'm betting the conditions of the conditional would include Timmy signing and playing for the Islanders next year which won't happen.

Markus Alexander Cody Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 LOL But a serious overpayment since it's a 2nd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86Viking Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 what a joke a team gives up a 2nd rounder to reach the cap floor but not actually gain a player that can help them? y not go make a real trade to try and improve the islanders.

qwijibo Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 According to Bob Mckenzie the 2nd round pick is conditional on Thomas reporting. If he doesn't then no pick. The net effect is Boston dumps Thomas's cap hit and the Isles use the cap hit to stay over the cap floor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I take it the Isles would have the oldest tandem in the league if Thomas reports? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Canuck Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Did Thomas's cap hit count againt the Bruins while he's suspended? Edit: Guess it does cus he's over 35! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ossi Vaananen Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Damn Islanders, ruining the game. Boston runs away with this laughing, a 2nd as well as dumping cap space .... that's a steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Another huge factor is that if Tim Thomas never plays again the Islander can toll his contract every year and use the $5 million cap hit in perpetuity. A great trade for the Isles who have difficulty reaching the cap floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
