The odds of Thomas being traded before the deadline are so close to zero that it's laughable that it's even being suggested. He has a no-trade clause. As long as this team is a favorite to repeat, he is not going to waive it. Plus, the Bruins won't trade him while they have a chance to repeat. Now, after the season, when his no-trade clause is gone, and he's heading into the final year of his contract, that's a different story.
