{"playerId":365,"percentChange":0,"averageDraftPosition":230,"percentOwned":0.7,"fullName":"Tim Thomas","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"It's not every professional athlete that would elect to walk away for a season in the prime of his or her career, but such is the case for Thomas. After compiling the No. 11 mark on ESPN's Player Rater for 2011-12 (35 W's, with a 2.36/.920 ratios split), Thomas will not be putting up anything for 2012-13 if he sticks to his plan to take the season off, a vow he is reportedly sticking with even after a new CBA was reached in January. For those who feel like taking a gamble -- and essentially giving up a roster spot indefinitely -- Thomas is the kind of player on whom a final round draft pick (or $1 in auction leagues) could be spent. If he has a change of heart between now and the end of the shortened season, you'll have one of the best goalies in the league on your team; if not, you'll have one less bench spot with which to work.
