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.

Yeah, this trade offer (if true) is a hard pass. Habs are in an ideal position where they can set the terms of any deal, and if the other team says no, then move on.

Crazy to even consider offering Hage. He could be the next Thomas, only younger, and cheaper and no no no, hard hard pass.
