Proposal: Columbus - St Louis

[Linkens Mastery]

I wouldn’t make that trade, but at some point we will need to take a swing, whether that is drafting or trading for a player.

If we are trading Kyrou+16 it needs to be for an established player. not a draft pick

Once again, there’s like one player on the Blues current roster they can’t trade (for anything realistic) and it’s Thomas.

Agreed, I wouldn't trade Kyrou alone for #4 let alone him and 16

Jiricek isn't going anywhere. We're not trading NHL ready prospects, in an area of need, for picks. Unless an equal level prospect is coming to fill his spot, it's a no.

Then why on this green earth would the blues trade thomas....thinks about

Just for fun

To St Louis
4th overall pick

To Columbus
Robert Thomas

St Louis goes into rebuild with two top 16 picks, Columbus gets their 1C long term

did St Louis already trade Binnington, and Parayko and start a rebuild that they were not aware of?
The Jackets after last season should blow it up and rebuild.

No one is this unaware of reality, right? What do you think they've been doing the past three years? They've had six first round picks since 2021 because they've sucked and sold off older players. All that's left now is the kids, who are still learning. No one blows up a rebuild on step two, that's asinine.

The quoted post I was replying to said nothing about Thomas. It was a prospect and a 25 1st.

As I noted I wouldn’t make that trade. I don’t disagree with that part.

You should leave your abode beneath the rock once in a while.

This is one of the posts most detached from reality that I have seen in a long time.

I'm sorry, but are you saying the Blues are in rebuild mode?
I dont think so, because if they are, they certainly arent doing it correctly, as you can count on one hand the players on their roster under the age of 25.
BTW, childish insults just show your own ignorance.

Columbus needs a lot more than Robert Thomas to go from a 66-point team to a winning team next year.

Right. They need to remain healthy to see if the actual progress they started to show in the 2nd half was real or just a brief blip. They need to have the year of development actually blossom into another year of better play. I get that Columbus can be the punching bag given the shit show they have been the last two years, but this team actually does have talent, just not experience. They lost the most games in the NHL when leading in the 3rd period. They were not getting blown out and spend the last 6 weeks with an AHL roster due to injuies (back to back years of awful luck).

So, yes, they do need more than Thomas but most of that should be from within. They don't need to get younger.

Not having a bona fide #1 center would definitely hurt the development of the young forwards that are coming up.

Where have I seen this movie before? Any CBJ fans help me with this?
