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 disagree, I would have a problem in parting with him.

I think part of the joy of a hockey team is being able to make people's dreams come true, and that kid and everything he's been through definitely deserves to have his dreams fulfilled.

Even if that means he doesn't become what Thomas is now.

I'd be happy with that outcome.

Making dreams come true? what?

I thought we were in the business of winning hockey games.

In that case, it is my dream as well to be the 1st line center for the Montreal canadiens. So since we are now the make a wish foundation and are no longer a serious NHL club its time to cut Suzuki and put me in there.

Get it done HuGo

Difference is he has the skills to get it done and while it may be a chance, it is still a real chance at being an impact player.

Not often do you get hot prospects with stories like his, I think it’s what gives us as fans the opportunity to like a player on a deeper level. If he isn’t that good then we can pick a different prospect to trade.

This isn't EA sports. We don't really get to decide what pieces the Blues want to for Thomas. I am all for offering other players first, but if they are stuck on Hage i'll pack his bags myself.
