2026 NHL UFA/Trade Thread

[Rolex]

I don’t know who I’d give up first, Hage or Zharovsky. I think I’d trade Zharovsky over Hage.

i think Blues would take Hage....and you do it....Thomas is 26

 

[Habsy]

I’m positive Hage would need to be involved. Plus more. Again, he fits perfectly with skill, age, cap hit… so you have to pay to get.

 

[Habsy]

XXXX-Thomas-Demidov

Where XXXX is a power forward type like Knies. Heck even Brady Tkachuk. So stupid taking KK over him or Hughes. Just dumb.

Thomas will be very expensive. But that’s OK, he would have a transformative impact on the line up.

Pick at 29 ain’t super valuable, so we may need to add another real player rather than a filler.

 

[lecoqsportif]

Not crazy about Barzal due to age.

He’s Greek. Still holds a grudge against Xerxes.

 

[CH1]

Thomas is younger AND better defensively than Barzal

I’m still skeptical he’s available

 

[lecoqsportif]

It would be the start of a rebuild and they don’t happen every day.

It’s a little bit like us trading Suzuki at the start of our rebuild. I know Thomas is older at the same stage but still young enough, not expensive… and a rebuild needs some structural pieces around it

Like Dobson. I agree. Pay it.

Oh for sure. Might need 2 firsts. I think I still do it. Really tired of not having a bonafide 2C. Heck with Thomas we may be able to create two first lines. 1A & 1B.

Fucking A right. That prick.

 

[AH$$$]

Barzal is a winger

 

[GrandWazoo]

Obviously not as interested about Barzal compared to Thomas.

I think Hage, 2 firsts, Guhle gets it done

 

[Habsy]

A little too much. Maybe Carrier instead of Ghoul.

 

[GrandWazoo]

I think Hage, Guhle + 1 first is enough.

 

[Rolex]

A little too much. Maybe Carrier instead of Ghoul.

I would do anything outside of Suzy-Cole-Slaf-Demi-Hutson-Dobson

been pounding the table for past 20 years about getting top C's to win the Cup

I think that's close. I also think Blues won't do it.

I would demand one difference maker back.

We'd be trading 3 prospects/picks and #5 dman who gets injured every year. sweet deal for us!

Unfortunately, other teams covet Thomas. Like 2/3 of the league.

We only need to have the better offer. Not that many teams can rival our assets pool. Depends what interest the Blues outside of our untouchables.
