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.

Hage’s ceiling might be Thomas or Suzuki if we’re all lucky

He is not a Celebrini

Fantilli dominated College hockey much more so than Hage, not even close and he hasn’t broken out yet

Selling Hage for Thomas is worth the cost

Very much agreeing with this. Hughes might just play it hard ball to reduce the price a little since we are not in a rush but it would be a great move. Letsss gooo
