"At the age of 38, I believe it is time to put my time and energies into those areas and relationships that I have neglected. That is why at this time I feel the most important thing I can do in my life is to reconnect with the three F's.

There's nothing wrong with what he's doing, but he certainly doesn't have to pretend he's some righteous saint for doing it.

I don't know him anymore than I know 99% of the people on this board. If he says that he's taking a sabbatical for family reasons, should I question that? Neither one of us know his situation in real life. Not saying that you can't disagree with him for doing it, but I don't see him doing this for attention. If he wanted to do it for attention, I can think of several dates that would work out better for him: the day after the Stanley Cup is won, the first day of the draft, or anytime between June 30-July 2.

I'll definitely question what his real motivation is. Thomas' NMC expires July 1st and it's not been a secret that Boston was planning to trade him. By "taking a year off" that wouldn't give the B's any salary cap relief, Thomas is suddenly using what little leverage he has to likely try and negotiate which teams he'll settle for being traded to. If the B's ignore that, he just sits for a year and lets Boston take the cap hit.
I guess you can say this DOES have something to do with "family" as he's either sitting out a year and seeing a lot more of them than usual or will be playing in a different city.
