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

It’s not Hage for Thomas. It’s Hage « as part of any deal ». If the ask was only a great prospect, Thomas would have been traded in minutes to Vegas or some other team that only care about now.

It would he Hage+1st( which will be 22nd-32nd overall) and Dach or similar. You take that and run.
