I say why carry two starting goaltenders and Rask is playing better than Thomas. Although that is no promise he will keep doing so.
Remeber that Thomas will be 38 this year. Although he's just eating up 5 mil on a cap hit. Also he has a clause where he can't be traded or assigned to the minors before 7-1-12.
Rask will be a RFA next year and this year he is only a 1.25 million hit on the cap this year.
I don't think it's a horrible idea to trade Thomas at all. You could still get some very good value for him.

That starting role is sorta of blurred now. In the past two months, Thomas only has one more start than Rask. Or make that one more goaltender of record than Rask.

If he is to be moved, one would think it would have to be to the western conference and Chicago is the only team that makes sense.
Nashville=Rinne
Vancouver=Luongo/Schneider
San Jose=Niemi
Detroit=Howard
Minnesota=Backstrom
St. Louis=Elliot/Halak
Los Angeles=Quick
Chicago=Crawford/Emery <<<
Those are the 8 teams currently in playoff spots and only the Hawks make sense as far as a goalie change goes. Emery would even make sense coming back the other way, giving the B's a veteran guy with the Bruin attitude who has shown he is still somewhat capable.Perfect guy to sit behind Rask come playoff time should things go wrong or in case of inury, and ofcourse packaged with something else.
