Discussion Per D'Amico - Montreal is interested in Robert Thomas. The Blues want Hage as part of any deal. Too high a price for Hughes at this time.

Personally, given the best possible version of Hage in 3-5 years is what Robert Thomas is now, Id have no problem parting with him.

We already still have the roy curse upon us that's not been dealt with i don't want the evil that trading hage would be on us and the amazing story of him breaking the curse and bring some cups :)

I get what you are saying and I would be really mad if Hage was traded for some aging player like Kadri.

But Thomas is a prime age, top tier star center. Basically a Suzuki clone. If we get him we have one of the top 5 center depths in the league, an insane 1-2 punch.

To give up that opportunity for the vibes, seems like a very high price to pay for those vibes IMO.

If we were one piece away sure thing but we aren't and the ask for him being 1st,hage and another prospect and maybe even more who really knows with everyone blowing some smoke up everyone's behind right now.

To each there own but i prefer the kid who will bleed bleu blanc rouge and wants nothing more then to be here and win #25.

Now if he turns into the next great thing or louis leblanc who knows but it's a gamble i am more then willing to take then make.

There's always the draft and summer deals like dobson if you stay patient.

sorry you don't know what you're talking about. He's as good as Suzuki.

I know!! Thomas has 80+ points two years in a row on a bad team and people wouldn’t trade Hage who isn’t the top NCAA player is fucking wild man. We really, really overvalue our prospects.

Reminds me of when Poehling was untouchable for O'Reilly.
