VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted July 1, 2013 Isn't he still technically under contract with someone? Wasn't it the Islanders? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amato 3,210 Report post Posted July 1, 2013 Isn't he still technically under contract with someone? Wasn't it the Islanders? he was for last season. they had the option to suspend him for not showing up and then he'd have to play there for a year if he were to come back, but they didn't do that. they traded for his contract so they could reach the cap floor for last season. now he's a UFA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

turbowhistle86 155 Report post Posted July 1, 2013 He'll end up in Vancouver so Luongo can sit in the locker room and pout for another 82 games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted July 1, 2013 He'll end up in Vancouver so Luongo can sit in the locker room and pout for another 82 games. I'm no Luongo fan but he's been extremely professional considering how Vancouver has jerked him around. It would be funny for the Nucks to sign Thomas though, just to continue bungling their goaltender situation. 2 frankgrimes and Vladifan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's only a matter of time before Luongo snaps and says something crazy....he's a highly paid, competitive person who is being jerked around.

Nev 1,085 Report post Posted July 1, 2013 Philly don't have a goaltender still do they? MAF must be nervously waiting for the buyout deadline too... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheDetroitRedWings 286 Report post Posted July 1, 2013 The Flyers are desperate for a solid goaltender. Thomas could be just what they're looking for (although I'm sure he'll retire after this year or next) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amato 3,210 Report post Posted July 1, 2013 Thomas would be a good temporary fix for Philly. They might be his best option too looking at the tendies around the league Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kira 451 Report post Posted July 2, 2013 As I told someone else, want in one hand and crap in the other. See which one gets filled first. I wouldn't want him. He doesn't have the attitude I want in a goalie, or any player, for that matter. 2 Vladifan and puckloo39 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Opie 308 Report post Posted July 2, 2013 Apparently, according to media around Boston (Mainly talk radio so no links) the B's as a team, both players and management, were not at all happy with his antics. If he had stayed on the team I think the White House non visit would have blown over, rather been blown over by his performance. But the way it played out he left a bad taste in a lot of people's mouths. We shall see if that stops a team like Philly (who routinely throws bad money at goalies) from picking him up. 2 Vladifan and puckloo39 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frankgrimes 1,836 Report post Posted July 2, 2013 It's only a matter of time before Luongo snaps and says something crazy....he's a highly paid, competitive person who is being jerked around. The fuse has to be getting short. Luongo really has handled this professionally and with a lot of class Gillis on the other hand comes off like a compete idiot. It's really amazing, how this guy can still have a job after that fiasco. Luongo has put up his house for sale and I highly doubt, that he is thrilled right now. Gillis only has himself to blame for this. As for Thomas when he is on his game, he is as dominant as a goaltender can be I also love the fact, that he doesn't give a crap about being mainstream (= political playball) for a bunch of idiots. I think, he he will definately end up in Philly or Edmonton, maybe Buffalo as a mentor for Enrot if they trade Miller.

Those things come before career, and I completely understand his decision. So many times agreed, I love people how really know whats important in life. Sure, he has made a lot of cash already but focusing on friends, family and faith first at this point in his career is just an outstanding decision.
