29-year old, undrafted 8th year right wing, Bill Thomas(29) has decided it’s time to leave North American pro hockey and joins Medvescak Zagreb of the KHL for 2013/2014.
He had been signed to a one-year, two-way contract with Colorado Avalanche for 2012/2013 but failed to receive a call-up in the lockout shortened season. It was the first time since he was on an AHL agreement for ’09/’10 with Springfield Falcons that he didn’t play in an NHL game.
He also left mid-season that year for the NLA in Switzerland but returned for the next campaign signing with Florida Panthers.
The unassuming 6’2″ 194 lbs. forward has played 87 contests in the show scoring 16 goals and 12 assists with three different teams.
He has 388 minor leagues games with 115 goals and 136 assists to his credit.
Seems like the right choice for the veteran player and chances are he will find his scoring touch.
