Reading is hard I guess evidently for every blues fan in this thread.
My OP said:
“DET offers
2024 1st (15OA)
Marco Kasper (C) (former 8 overall pick)
William Wallinder (LHD)
Andrew Gibson (RHD)
Would this be ball park? or do blues want more? I know they wont trade him but just curious”
Maybe 2 ppl have provided any actual discussion (such as buch for 15 which I’d do) they are all just butt hurt Betty’s & don’t offer actual counter offers. Sorry I suggested a trade on a hockey forums board lol
Trading Thomas just doesn't make sense for the Blues.
There's nothing really logical that can be offered to the Blues to warrant Thomas being moved at the current state of The Blues franchise. Their center core is currently Thomas, Schenn, and Hayes.
Schenn should be on the wing and Hayes is just a warm body until Dvorsky shows he's able to be an NHL caliber center.
Thomas is the player the offense AND defence of the forward group goes through and just scored 85 points as a 24 year old while we had to force Buch, a winger, to play Center because Schenn can't cut it there anymore and we're healthy scratching Hayes.
Please explain to me why the Blues would trade the current face of their franchise for that package? Would you trade 24 year old Larkin for that package? Because I wouldn't.
No combination of assets you offered are worth trading away our top line all situations Center and force us into a long term rebuild which the management group and ownership group have been very vocal against.
If you want to talk about Buch then we can. But at the state the Blues are in, any conversation that starts off with Thomas you are going to get a resounding no.
