Over his career, Thomas has been a consistent player. His arrival to the Devils, however, did hurt the team. Not because of him
coming, but who left in exchange. Claude Lemieux's departure in exchange for Thomas is generally regarded as one of the
worst trades in Devils' history.
The one bright spot during his tenure in New Jersey was leading the team in scoring in his first season with the team.
He would return to the Toronto Maple Leafs, the team he broke in with, in 1998, and continued to be an integral support player
with them. His production would wane as the years went by, and would retire in 2004 while with the Detroit Red Wings.
He works with Plain 'N' Simple, a promotional sportswear and event company in Toronto, these days, starting there in late
2006. He has also did some coaching with the St. Michael's Buzzers Jr. A team.
