Tim Thomas' agent, Bill Zito, has announced that his client is interested in returning to action next season. Zito commented via Twitter that, "Tim Thomas has asked me to explore possible options for next season. We'll have no further comment at this time. Thanks." Thomas will be an unrestricted free agent on July 5. TSN's Bob McKenzie reported back in May that the New York Islanders would not be tolling his contract. It's also worth noting that CBC's Elliotte Friedman said a return to Europe could be a possibility for Thomas depending on what offers he gets from NHL clubs.
