Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli downplayed the possibility of the team trading Tim Thomas. Thomas' no-movement clause will no longer be in effect starting on July 1st and Tuukka Rask is scheduled to be a restricted free agent this summer. Thomas is also entering the last season of his contract and he recently turned 38, so there are some valid reasons for them to at least explore their options. "I know I've seen speculation about moving a goalie and all that stuff," Chiarelli said. "Certainly, I'm not inclined to do that. Tim didn't have, statistically, the year he had the year before. But I thought he had a very good year. We have, if not the best, one of the top two or three goalie tandems in the league."
