Tampa Bay Times reporter Damian Cristodero acknowledges the logic of Tim Thomas to Tampa Bay Lightning trade rumors. At the same time, Cristodero reports that "there is no indication this is the way Tampa Bay wants to go" yet "practical arguments can be made both ways." Thomas might make more sense for the Bolts - who need at least a temporary fix in net - because he only has one more year left on his contract (as opposed to Roberto Luongo's lengthy deal).
