Controversial goaltender Tim Thomas decided earlier this summer to end his sabbatical and return to the National Hockey League. The positionally aggressive and politically outspoken netminder remains an unrestricted free-agent for the time being, however, he is apparently closing in on a deal.
Per ESPN's Craig Custance:
Tim Thomas closing in on a decision. Possibly today. Discussions continue with multiple teams.
