I'm not surprised he got traded, not surprised he got traded to Florida. I'm just really surprised he got traded now.
And you know, Florida was exploring re-signing Thomas to a one year deal. So that may have factored into it. Florida can now try and trade Thomas tomorrow for a pick.

Gillis also flat out said that this trade was not available a year ago, and intimated that the new ownership in Florida made this possible.Topper wrote:Almost GMMG's exact word when interviewed between periods......after the stock 'it is the coach's decision who plays".
He also acknowledged the periodic communication with Florida and the change in ownership there that allowed the deal to progress. just as in your earlier post

Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.
I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Well if ownership wouldn't retain salary a year ago and therefore vetoed the trade, obviously this trade was not available for Gillis to make.Topper wrote:Yeah.herb wrote:Gillis also flat out said that this trade was not available a year ago, and intimated that the new ownership in Florida made this possible.Topper wrote:Almost GMMG's exact word when interviewed between periods......after the stock 'it is the coach's decision who plays".
