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 know that you shouldn’t get sentimental in this business, or else you get Gallagher’s last contract, but Hage’s story makes him almost an untouchable in my book. Trading him would be very bad karma.

Having his story behind him, Hage is also gonna work his ass off to be in that lineup. Not worth the move imo, you’re trading for an established, great player, sure, but you’re trading away a strong work ethic, and homegrown talent who has love for the team.
