Leo Thomas

Thomas may be at practice tomorrow
December 1st, 2008
Komets General Manager David Franke said the team is talking with forward Leo Thomas and may have him signed in time for practice tomorrow. There is currently no contract signed.

“We’ve been looking at Leo ever since he got waived by Bloomington last week,” Franke aid. “We felt right now that we needed a little bit more offense and that’s why we’re going after Leo.”

As for the Komets’ need for defensemen, Franke said, “Everybody is always looking for defensemen and we’re looking also. Leo is a very talented kid and we need a second-line center. When Curadeau gets back and Shafranov gets back then we’ll have to make some decisions, but that’s is down the road. We’re adding some offense and we’re adding speed to the team. Leo is a very good skater with a lot of speed. That will be a nice element to our team.”

The veteran had four goals and six points in nine games with Bloomington this season. Last year he had 21 goals and 62 points in 71 games with the PrairieThunder.

Good call for the K's.

I was wondering why they waived him.

[Sgriff]

Not sure why Bloomington wavied him either. He was a productive player for them last year. K's have to find some offensive fire power since they lost Curadeau.

word around the rink has it had nothing to do with his hockey skills and it was time to move on

[MrFrost]

I think he really wasnt happy in Bloomy, but then again, who would be? HA HA HA

BPT sux! F you.

[Grittzkey]

question, is he the black one?

[lovelost]

yes he is

[lovelost]

I really hope this happens. He will add alot to the Komets and even make them tougher. He doesn't fight much but he is there for his teamates.

[BPT ROCKS]

Wait till he plays the Thunder
I hope he signs and he lights it up for the K's..
