If he got traded for a roster player then no, but if they acquired him for nothing, he wouldn't displace anyone on the healthy roster. A guy like Thomas brings veteran experience and leadership in addition to skill, and so he's certainly not going to be moved for a rookie. Holmstrom does things practically no other player in the league will. The grind line is untouchable. You could argue on Ray Whitney, but again he's proven more and is paid too much to sit for any rookie outside of someone at the Kovalchuk/Heatley level.
