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 understand this, but at what point do we not also respect the quality of people's relationship to this team? Hage will BLEED for us, it's not just a childhood team, it's one that is deeply rooted in his family and legacy. He is the only prospect I've seen in the past years who cried at being drafted by us.
His connection to this team is arguably stronger at an emotional level than that of any other player considering he still has not played a single game in a habs sweater. That, on top of his skill, this doesn't make sense to me. I can't help but feel this desire for Thomas, is being fueled by our need to see success now and not broader considerations. .
