Eichel
Middlestadt
Thomas

As your top three centers for the next 5-10 years.

Robert Thomas is a top 5 prospect in the entire NHL right now.

He'd be a huge get.

- ImThatGuy


This would be a great return. Rather pay the bonus to get him than anything Montreal can offer.

So a Mitts type player in return for ROR isn't good???
- turbo044


Not all people follow prospects as well as others. I, like them, would love to get that big name player who is already established in the NHL like a Schwartz in exchange for ROR.

At the end of the day.... Thomas is a comparable 2C to Casey Mitts.. any time you get better like that down the middle... I am ready for it. One can even play wing for a little bit. We know Malkin does it for Crosby.

Quick look at MTL's prospect cupboard that we'd be interested in compared to Robert Thomas.

Well i'm going to catch hell for this from some but here goes, My uncle and his friend with the Sabres are at Harbor Center watching the rookie camp ( good pics by the way he sent me) and he called to talk with me and I asked more about ROR. He said the Blues are still talking with the Sabres like they have been for over a month now, as are the Habs and Canes just not as long as the Blues.

He told me that according to his friend it's getting to the point they are going to have to move ROR whether they want to or not, it's getting past the point of talking things out and moving along.There's a lot involved with ROR and mangament. Some teammates also have some issues with him.

Sabres as of now will pay the 7.5 he's owed.

Have mercy on me folks, just passing it along.

Highly doubt this is the trade for ROR. We're (I hope) smarter then this.

It's sounded like it was a foregone conclusion for a while now. Hope the return is solid still.

He's Casey Middlestadt good.

Possibly better.

He's ready to play this year as well.

- ImThatGuy


Hes a ROR clone which is not a bad thing but he's not the calling Casey will be as a player

Thomas would be huge to get but we have all the power we can get more

And I doubt we get him he's one of their Untouchables

Trade him now before he quits half way through the season and all return value is lost.

So you’re saying that he really doesn’t play well with others?

Who would have guessed he would do the exact same thing here that he did in Colorado.

Hope this isn't widely known around the league, it will take leverage from us.

We pay that 7.5 due to him, they can pick the beat deal possible.

Isn't it 6.5M bonus and 1M salary? The 1M salary would go to the new team?

Don't know for sure but heard it was 7.5 but you may be correct.

I agree.

I would think it has to be known though.

My buddy has had conversations with a few NHL refs that knew pretty well the issues he was having.

At the time it’s just hear say but when so many different people keep saying the same thing I think it gains weight
