Is it time to trade Tim Thomas?

 Well I have heard this talk from a lot of people lately. On message Boards the talk is this is last good season should I get out while I can. Around Boston the talk is all about Tukka Rask and Thomas’s Salary. Why are the Bruins hanging on to such an old goalie at that kind of money?

Well maybe its time to put an end to the talk.

Thomas is 36 is that old. Brodeur is 38. A lot of people are talking about grabbing Roloston from Free Agency for their fantasy team he’s 41!

Dominik Hasek played till he was 43. Lets compare some numbers

	Age	32	33	34	43
Hasek	GAA	2.27	2.09	1.87	2.14
	SV%	0.93	0.932	0.937	0.902
		*	*	*
	Age	33	34	35	36
Thomas	GAA	2.44	2.1	2.56	1.8
	SV%	0.921	0.933	0.915	0.945

*Won Vezina Trophy

Thomas and Hasek both have the same style and same build so its easy to compare.
My opinion is would you have traded Hasek at 36 or Brodeur at 36 in vezina trophy form? No way! Don’t kid yourself. This guy has the goods and has had them for 3 years now. If not for the injury last season we would be talking 3peat on the vezina this season. Trade him if you must but not for a bag of pucks. Thomas is the real deal.
