not sure why that means it needs to be closed lol its just a discussion
He replied to his own comment earlier lmao guess his username checks out god I hate this site cause of ppl like that guyYou'll notice a pattern with him. He comes into the thread being needlessly antagonistic and homerific whilst showing insecurity and then demands it be shut down because he's already corrected us poor plebs and our limited understanding so no further need for discussion. For the life of me I can't understand his purpose, but I don't understand why my dog likes to eat cat shit either which goes to show some things are best left a mystery.
Wouldn’t really call a 1st, an 8 OA C, and 2 solid D prospects insulting but thanks for adding value to the discussion !This is an insulting offer.
In what world does Thomas get Larkin and Edvinsson? Blues fans are delusional lmaoI can't see anything working unless it's based around Seider, or based around both Larkin and Edvinsson...
(A) it would be Thomas plus, not just Thomas, and (B) I'm not saying Detroit loves the idea. I'm just saying that's what it would take to get the Blues to agree to give Thomas away to another team.In what world does Thomas get Larkin and Edvinsson? Blues fans are delusional lmao
You never said Thomas plus.. so it’s hard to see why I would think you meant that.(A) it would be Thomas plus, not just Thomas, and (B) I'm not saying Detroit loves the idea. I'm just saying that's what it would take to get the Blues to agree to give Thomas away to another team.
I went out of my way to make sure I said "based around" so that people didn't think I meant "straight up". If you still somehow thought I meant "straight up", then that's on you, not me.You never said Thomas plus.. so it’s hard to see why I would think you meant that.
Hey Mike,Then you don’t watch the Blues
Um 31 binnington and 30 year old parayko are great players.Hey Mike,
Are you a blues fan? While I am by no means a blues fan(red wings fan), no way in heck a 31 year old Parayko and a 31 year old Binnington are a part of the future my guy.
So trade a better youngee 1c for an older c lol not gonna happe(A) it would be Thomas plus, not just Thomas, and (B) I'm not saying Detroit loves the idea. I'm just saying that's what it would take to get the Blues to agree to give Thomas away to another team.
In the world of 1c better than larkin tied up for 8 years at 8.5 mil 80 point play making center in his prime lol close this thread npwWouldn’t really call a 1st, an 8 OA C, and 2 solid D prospects insulting but thanks for adding value to the discussion !

This is a discussion forum. If you don't like the topic, you are free to ignore it, but until/unless this thread goes off the rails or becomes so outlandish that it's considered trolling, this can stay open.There is no discussion. Robert thomas is a 24yo top 10 center in thw league. Wh9 is under contract for 8 years 8.5 mil.
But here how about sieder evdison for kyrou 1st 2024 buchnevich.
Now Blues fans know how us Sens fans feel when they try to "trade for" Brady Tkachuk lol
It's a nice offer, really, a number of interesting pieces.
However, this trades our most valuable asset, without fundamentally fix the one problem we have, which is high end D of the future. There are potentially 3 young Ds in this package, but none of them (including any player still available at 15), would have much potential to be a top pairing D.
It's just not a trade that we would logically consider. The only thing we talked about in another thread, can potentially make moving Thomas worth it (not say that I would, but just that it would be reasonable to consider), is something like #5 + Reinbacher from Montreal. Detroit just doesn't have the pieces to make the overall package appealing to the Blues.
Kasper + a mid 1st + B prospect is an insulting offer for a top 10 league wide franchise cornerstone 1C signed long term thru his prime at a steal of a contract. Just because the rest of the league hasn’t woken up to how good Thomas is doesn’t mean Blues fans don’t know his worth.Wouldn’t really call a 1st, an 8 OA C, and 2 solid D prospects insulting but thanks for adding value to the discussion !
You’re not quoting a Blues fan, but they are correct. Robert Thomas is a younger, better player signed to a better contract. There would have to be a significant plus added to Larkin to get the Blues to even consider it.In what world does Thomas get Larkin and Edvinsson? Blues fans are delusional lmao
Buffalo should top this if that is all it takesListen, I know this player is an absolute stud and the blues will NOT want to trade a 24 year old 1C unless there's a huge overpay... but lets say wings are willing to overpay
What would it take?
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 cause Larkin, Thomas, Danielson would be a sick 1-2-3 C core
St. Louis should not get rid of Thomas.
But um....he's not even remotely close to a top ten C in the league.
In no particular order:
Hughes
McDrai
Matthews
Crosby
MacKinnon
Point
Barkov
JT Miller
Aho
Pettersson
Reinhart
11th in points (86) and 5th in assists (60) last season compared to all centers in the league. On a team that doesn't gave anywhere near the surrounding talent on any of those players you list while also being a positive player on the ice.St. Louis should not get rid of Thomas.
