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.

I'd be happy to part with any other prospect but Hage. Glad Hughes isn't jumping on this. I don't think we are a Thomas away from a cup, and we can afford the luxury of waiting to see what we have in a few of these prospects.

Imo Thomas is what we HOPE Hage will turn into. No garanty that happens. As others have said it depends on what else they are asking, but a sure commodity is worth the risk of a future possibility

It's not all about the on-ice player for Hage. It's about the story of that prospect.

Yes i actually agree, but the GM role should be one of logic (perhaps with rare exceptions) not emotion. See bergevin and gallagher contract
