This time it looks like more than idle speculation, too.
Bruce Garrioch of the Toronto Sun reports that two NHL execs have confirmed to him that Peter Chiarelli has offered up Tim Thomas in trade to teams in need of goaltending help.
It should be noted that Tuukka Rask has started three straight games for the Bruins, who broke their 10 game losing streak today with a 3-0 shutout in Montreal.
Intriguing stuff and a potential blockbuster.
Stay tuned.
