So last night the [Boston Bruins](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/boston-bruins?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) were eliminated by the [Washington Capitals](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/washington-capitals?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), and speculation began anew that [Tim Thomas](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54839/tim-thomas?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) could be had in a trade this off-season. Further fanning the trade flames was the news that [Roberto Luongo](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54455/roberto-luongo?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) will provide, in very short order, a list of five teams to which he would accept a trade, and [Darren Dreger says the Leafs will be on it](https://twitter.com/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com#!/DarrenDreger/status/195356799916978176).

  
The main risk in acquiring either goaltender? Age. In the case of Thomas, he only has [one more year](http://capgeek.com/charts.php?Team=5&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) remaining on his contract, and so, perhaps presents a lower-risk, lower-reward situation. Luongo, of course, has that gigantisaurus of a contract, and could provide a longer-term solution or a longer-term hindrance.

  
I took a look at what [age may well mean for these two goalies over at The Leafs Nation](http://theleafsnation.com/2012/4/25/luongo-liability?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), so go check that out. Jump for more.
