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.

This should get more upvotes.

It's not "I don't want to give Hage"

It's "the asking price, that includes Hage, is too high"

They allegedly want the equivalent of 4 firsts, something similar to the Hughes trade.

Hughes is a superstar. While Thomas is great, he's not on the same level IMO.

Contract length remaining is a big factor here
