Bruins wanted Carter, Philly offered Gagne and the Bruins said no.

Thank god for that.

I don't think Thomas DID say no. There was that interview with his parents after the Cup win, where they mentioned that they thought Timmy was moving for sure. I think the B's nailed that coffin shut when they didn't get what they were looking for. Or (for that matter) it was a team effort between Chia and Homlgren.
