I'm surprised a guy like
Ryan Whitney is on a PTO with
You'd think teams like
and
could use his services but then again he probably had a small list to pick from before choosing the Blues.
Mason Raymond on a PTO deal with
man the Leafs lucked out having a top 9 guy fall into their lap. He's got plenty of speed and trying out in Toronto means he'll get lots of media attention for other teams to keep tabs on him in case Toronto passes on him.
Tim Thomas. Age doesn't matter for good players. Hasek. Brodeur. All these guys are competitors and they can play any time they want. Whether Thomas really wants to play is another issue. And the statement he was trying to make with
was a total failure if he thought he was leaving the team high and dry. LOL Stanley Cup appearance without your sorry butt in tow. Suck it up and get back on the ice little man.
Thomas could easily make
a serious contender because it wasn't all that long ago that the Panthers were a play-off team.
