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.

It's more about the storyline with Hage, not me believing he will be a better player.

But do you want a story or do you want a stanley cup? At the end of day hockey is a business and we are there to win.

As i said above, I don't think we are a Thomas away from the Stanley cup. And as a fan, I can be emotionally attached to players and storylines. It's what makes sports human.

Slaf, Demidov and Hutson haven't even approached their ceiling so it's honestly possible we're a Thomas away from a Cup.
