""Robert Thomas, that's an interesting one," he said. "I've spent a few days looking into that. He's 26 years old, he'll be 27 in July. What it sounds like, if the Blues really wanted to do this ... you make them say there's no way we can say no." Elliotte Friedman also mentioned during t he podcast that the Blues are looking to acquire a younger forward within the range of 22 to 24 years old."
"Brad Treliving has mentioned throughout the season that he is not looking to throw in the white towel and is attempting to make their team better, as the Leafs' management staff still believes they are in a position to win despite being on the outside looking in. This season, Thomas has produced 11 goals and 33 points, while rocking a -3."
St. Louis Blues have begun considering moving on from 26-year-old center Robert Thomas as they enter a rebuild. Any trade for Thomas would require a very high return given his age and upside. The Blues are reportedly seeking a younger forward in the 22–24 range plus a promising prospect in any deal. Thomas has produced 11 goals and 33 points this season while holding a minus-3 rating. Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Brad Treliving is pursuing upgrades, but the Leafs lack the young, movable prospects the Blues appear to be seeking.
