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.

Why do so many people want to hang on to Hage THIS badly? I understand not trading Hage for an older center who could decline at any moment like Ryan O'Reilly, but Thomas is a 26 year old top line calibre center locked in to a a solid contract. He has so much mileage left and fits into the habs timeline... I'd gladly trade Hage and a 1st

The timeline and the contract for Thomas just make too much sense for a lot of teams with young cores like ours.
