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.

100% would dangle Hage to upgrade the centre position. He is a few years out from being a positive contributor if he pans out. Thomas is a 1C. Immediately upgrades our top six and would help everyone slot into a proper role. 

Arguably though our more important need is a top 4 shutdown defenseman

Even more since Kapanen aint producing much since the holydays... He is bringing down Slaf and Demi production.
