Question about Tim Thomas trade rumors from a couple years ago

[canuckster19]

Hello Bruins fans, With Luongo talk heating up, I was just curious as to what was on the table for Thomas that year before your cup run, were there any definitive teams and/or offers or just tire kicking?

Thomas was being shopped for Jeff Carter but the Flyers never pulled the trigger.

I think Washington and Philly. But not 100%.

Bruins wanted Carter, Philly offered Gagne and the Bruins said no.

I don't think Thomas DID say no. There was that interview with his parents after the Cup win, where they mentioned that they thought Timmy was moving for sure. I think the B's nailed that coffin shut when they didn't get what they were looking for. Or (for that matter) it was a team effort between Chia and Homlgren.
