Islanders acquire Tim Thomas from Boston in salary-dump move


UNIONDALE, N.Y.

Tim Thomas
The New York Islanders have acquired Republican goalie Tim Thomas from the Boston Bruins, according to multiple sources.

Thomas has said he would not play this season so he could be a family-values Republican spend more time with his family.

Looks like a salary dump/cap move on the Bruins' part. Thomas's salary counted toward the ceiling for the Bruins this season, even though he isn't playing.

I can't envision Thomas coming back this season or, for that matter, ever playing on the Island. But perhaps there's more to this than we yet know. If we learn any more, we'll share it here, of course.
