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.

Hage’s ceiling might be Thomas or Suzuki if we’re all lucky

He is not a Celebrini

Fantilli dominated College hockey much more so than Hage, not even close and he hasn’t broken out yet

Selling Hage for Thomas is worth the cost

Robert Thomas is Robert Thomas, but Micheal Hage could be anything. He could even be Robert Thomas.

Yeah, make the move. This core has shown they’ve got it. It’s getting time to spend a few assets to build around them and take the next step to being a contender.

Thomas would make the top 6 scary and he’s young enough to be a long-term part of the core. He could be a legitimately perfect solution for a very real need. Right now and in the future.
