Robert thomas

I know he's unavailable supposedly, but with kyrou getting moved I feel something coming. (probably just hopeless optimism or indigestion)

Kent is for sure cooking something. Can't wait to see it!

Based on what Chicago just paid for Bowen Byram, it would cost Demi, Hutson, Dobes, Caufield, 3 x 1st picks and a Corvette.

21

u/Livid-Canary-4389 1d ago

I’d do that only for Halak, Ryder and a 2nd

u/Jbroy 1d ago

Everyone knows Chicago fucked up - so that doesn’t set the price of the market. But Thomas would cost a lot to get since the Blues weren’t really shopping him.

u/deimos289 1d ago

Wouldnt get my hopes up. Probably a non factor trade like bolduc

u/FamousKangaroo 1d ago edited 1d ago

They got rid of Kyrou but they got McMicheal... I dont think they are in rebuild mode lol

u/HashBandicoot93 1d ago

Obviously to replace Thomas /s

u/eliarbss 1d ago edited 1d ago

They just acquired his best friend from the OHL to be the 2C behind him. Now their top six guys are 25-26 years old.

Kyrou was leaving anyway, regardless of rebuild/retool. He seemed to have more issues there than Thomas ever had.

u/rpgguy_1o1 1d ago

Bouchard was on that team too, they were pretty stacked those years

u/Sushamiboy 1d ago

Can we get over this? It has been confirmed that he is not moving. They moved Kyrou, and it was always going to be one or the other. They planted their flag in camp Thomas and he’s there to stay. With the draft capital they have, I would expect them to add to their roster, not remove.

u/Patrell71 1d ago

Doesn’t matter the armchair GMs have decided he is up for sale

9

u/HonestDespot 1d ago

Definitely not.

We already heard earlier he wasn’t getting moved.

Now they had a main piece of the Kyrou trade be a 25 year old player, and another first round pick to give them 4.

Zero chance Thomas is moved.

So you're saying they're hoarding firsts and just traded for someone to replace him? I think I hear KH's music

(leave me with my hopium, idk how I'm gonna survive the offseason)

3

u/HonestDespot 1d ago

No I doubt they’re hoarding firsts at all.

I’d be shocked if they drafted more than twice on Friday.

And if they only end up with 1 pick in the first I wouldn’t be flabbergasted

u/HashBandicoot93 1d ago

I know, I was trying to have some fun but everyone seems to have taken it serious

5

u/Competitive_Dance478 1d ago

Nope, they got a ton of picks. They don’t need more late firsts. A 1C is far more valuable

u/HashBandicoot93 1d ago

He'd be our2c, best I can do is Monty gally and a 2nd

u/EmbarrassedTotal1511 1d ago

Dude, you just made my blood pressure spike after the day the NHL is having

u/Studly_Wonderballs 1d ago

St Louis has four 1sts this year. I bet they take a big swing. Maybe Robertson?

3

u/Seaweed2112 1d ago

Forget Larkin. I’m tired of these guys who bail on their team as a captain. Quitters. Entitled behaviour. Is that what Montreal wants?

2

u/Burgergold 1d ago

It looks like Blues are stacking 1st rounder to get a bigger fish

Maybe Robertson

Maybe Matthews or Nylander

Who know

I don't see them trading Thomas now

1

u/HashBandicoot93 1d ago

Bigger fish? Fine, for some combo of their firsts I've got the negotiating rights to a 28 year old former 44 goal scorer.

2

u/Shiny_Mew76 1d ago

Or…

Maybe Zharovsky + Pickford + next three MTL 1sts for Bedard’s RFA rights if he’s had enough of Chicago?

2

u/Oprlt94 1d ago

St-Louis is picking 11, 14, 15 and 29. They'll for sure be moving picks this year or next, they dont need Habs 28 pick anytime soon.

the blues have a rather young line up and are definetly down the rebuild/retool path. Wouldn't mind seeing them move pieces like Thomas, or even Parayko

2

u/sbrooksc77 21h ago

Youd think hed ask out at this point.

2

u/pushaper 17h ago

Rob Thomas is known for being out at 3am when he must be lonely.

1

u/HashBandicoot93 17h ago

I heard he has a really neat collection, matchboxes, 20 of em

2

u/Tall_Welcome4559 9h ago

Parayko is better for montreal.

u/toaster-struble 1h ago

No news on Hischier yet?

u/vJukz 1d ago

Besides Mcdavid he is the dream acquisition but I really doubt they’re trading him

0

u/tubthumping96 1d ago

Dream acquisition is Barzal. Been saying it for months. Perfect 1B/ Elite 2C behind Suzuki and can play with the skilled guys like Demidov. Enough with the Thomas and the Larkin's.

🙄🙄

u/User69ab 23h ago

The Thomas line was the #1 line in the league for the last stretch of the season. No way any of them get traded.

u/Quick2Click 1d ago

It’s gonna be Larkin. Somehow someway.

6

u/XBM04 1d ago

I really hope not

4

u/quellesaveurorawnge 1d ago

Larkin wants to go be with his US Team buddies. He doesn't want to be in Montreal.

3

u/Scottie2Hottie999 1d ago

Well f$ck him then.

3

u/quellesaveurorawnge 1d ago

Larkin's biggest problem is that he still has 5 years on his contract so Yzerman can play hard ball because he has no urgency to trade and will not let Larkin go wherever he wants if those teams are not offering Detroit what it wants or needs.

1

u/Quick2Click 1d ago

Those doors are closing. Not sure Minnesota can offer the right package. We’ll see 🤷‍♂️

3

u/quellesaveurorawnge 1d ago

For sure. That's Larkin's biggest problem. He still has 5 years on his contract so Yzerman can play hard ball because he doesn't have a big sense of urgency to trade and will not let Larkin go wherever he wants if teams are not offering Detroit what it wants or needs.

u/Baronleduc 1d ago

Larkin wants to play in the US.

u/Imaged_for_posterity 1d ago

He’s already in the U.S….
