Tim Thomas announced on his Facebook page that he won't play in the final season of his contract- the 2012-2013 season.
Thomas wrote a lengthy Facebook message on the matter, stating the he's leaving to focus on the "three F's": "Faith, Family and Friends." Thomas is leaving $5 million on the table- all of it counting against the Bruins' salary cap.
And you know that really sits well with Peter Chiarelli and his off-season plans...
Here's more of the message...
From the earliest age I can remember, I've wanted to be a hockey player. I've been blessed in my life to not only be able to live that dream, but to achieve more than I ever thought possible.
The singleminded focus that is necessary to accomplish a dream of this magnitude entails (by necessity) sacrifice in other areas and relationships in life.
At the age of 38, I believe it is time to put my time and energies into those areas and relationships that I have neglected. That is why at this time I feel the most important thing I can do in my life is to reconnect with the three F's.
Friends, Family, and Faith.
This is what I plan on doing over the course of the next year.
Maybe Peggy can help Chiarelli...
