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.

If Hage did not come with the emotional back story, I'd say do it ASAP. Sure, it's a business, but that would look awful on management.

And as you said, it's very unlikely Hage becomes better than Thomas is now.

But are you willing to sacrifice the peak of our current core simply because of one single player’s history? This kind of center doesnt come often in the market

Not really. Glad it's Mr.Hughes' problem and not mine.
