WildCard Posted June 28, 2018 Report Posted June 28, 2018 Whatever happens with this trade, I'm looking forward to logging on here so you guys can tell me if it was good or not, because I have no idea anymore. I'm positive that whatever does happen during this trade, it will not be unanimous Whatever happens, I will be reserving my judgment until it's obvious that Botterill is done. Because I just feel like anything else would be presumptuous. I mean, why else are we on here? I'm grabbing my torch and pitchfork and rioting until I have to apologize Quote
Radar Posted June 28, 2018 Report Posted June 28, 2018 Thomas is lesser ROR. Lesser in the sense he hasn't made the NHL and done what ROR has but I think ROR is his ceiling. He skates faster than ROR but I don't think by a ton. I'm not in love with Thomas to be truthful, he's just kinda okay it everything. From what I've heard he is highly rated and projected as a #1/#2 center. Quote
sweetlou Posted June 28, 2018 Report Posted June 28, 2018 What players make sense in St Louis trade??? ROR, Nylander, and McCabe to St Louis Parayko, Berglund, Jaskin, and conditional 2020 2nd rd to Buffalo (2nd becomes a 1st if Nylander scores 15+ goals in either of next two years) Quote
LGR4GM Posted June 28, 2018 Report Posted June 28, 2018 ROR is a #2 center. A 60 point #2 center playing the second toughest 5v5 minutes in the NHL. Robert Thomas hopes to be that. What players make sense in St Louis trade??? ROR, Nylander, and McCabe to St Louis Parayko, Berglund, Jaskin, and conditional 2020 2nd rd to Buffalo (2nd becomes a 1st if Nylander scores 15+ goals in either of next two years) If This was the trade I would fire Botterill immediately.

GASabresIUFAN Posted June 28, 2018 Report Posted June 28, 2018 So I must really hate Tim Murray No way you hate him more then I do. Quote

We'd have to flip Thomas and a 1st or the two 1sts for something No way you hate him more then I do. Pretty sure Robviously has you both beat Quote
LGR4GM Posted June 28, 2018 Report Posted June 28, 2018 We'd have to flip Thomas and a 1st or the two 1sts for something Pretty sure Robviously has you both beat If I am flipping Thomas and 2 1sts for something, I better be getting something pretty damn good back. Quote
Derrico Posted June 28, 2018 Report Posted June 28, 2018 Who's this? Unless we flip the Blues and SJ 1st for an NHL player, I am not a fan. Or unless Andersson is actually something. Edit: He's just some JAG in Sweden taken last year by the Blues. Big LHD If this is the trade, I ###### hate it Same actually There's just no way that RoR and Nylander fetch that package from St.Louis. Not a chance in hell Would you like the potential trade or not? I'm confused.... Quote
Doohicksie Posted June 28, 2018 Report Posted June 28, 2018 I mean, why else are we on here? I'm grabbing my torch and pitchfork and rioting until I have to edit my posts to show I was right all along fify ;) Quote
Randall Flagg Posted June 28, 2018 Report Posted June 28, 2018 (edited) I feel as highly about Thomas as I do about Mittelstadt purely by looking at rankings and stats and things like that. I would like Dunn coming back too in a Thomas deal, or Kyrou. Parayko would be a wet dream. Edited June 28, 2018 by Randall Flagg Quote
WildCard Posted June 28, 2018 Report Posted June 28, 2018 If I am flipping Thomas and 2 1sts for something, I better be getting something pretty ###### damn good back. Well yeah, I'm hopeful that it is that Would you like the potential trade or not? I'm confused.... Not at all. But again, we could flip Thomas and a 1st or the 2 1sts for something I would like. I'm not sure that piece exists to be traded for though Quote

irregularly irregular Posted June 28, 2018 Report Posted June 28, 2018 Not terribly interested in any trade with StL that does not include Parayko as their major piece to the puzzle. I won't say no to other ideas just yet, but Parayko is the piece that makes ROR going away tolerable. Or, as mentioned above, StL gives up enough choice pieces to flip for the equivalent of Parayko. Sabres need that young, top pairing RHD to solidify this defense for the next 5+ years. Quote
LGR4GM Posted June 28, 2018 Report Posted June 28, 2018 I'd rather have Kyrou. He is faster and a better skater. Quote
GASabresIUFAN Posted June 28, 2018 Report Posted June 28, 2018 If we aren’t getting a top 4 D or a top 6 winger, why are we even considering trading ROR? I know Jbot hates TM’s players, but this is going to far to trade ROR for futures and getting zero immediate help for next year’s team. Quote
Randall Flagg Posted June 28, 2018 Report Posted June 28, 2018 I value speed and IQ a lot in today's NHL. I think Mittelstadt has both. I think Thomas has 1 of them This is the most subjective thing you could possibly say :lol: How many games of Thomas and Mitts have you watched, honestly? For me it's like 0 and 7. Quote

I know Jbot hates TM’s players, but this is going to far to trade ROR for futures and getting zero immediate help for next year’s team. I would consider a top 6 or so league wide prospect just as valuable as top 6 winger or even top 4 d. Quote
Brawndo Posted June 28, 2018 Author Report Posted June 28, 2018 I lied he was Sixth on Pronman’s Board 6. Robert Thomas, C, St. Louis Age: 18 | Height: 6-foot | Weight: 192 pounds Drafted: First round, 20th overall in 2017 2017-18 team: Hamilton Bulldogs Thomas’ development has been shooting upwards at a rocket speed the past few years, as he is now clearly one of the best players in his age group. He’s a complete player who can drive play as a center and make high-level offensive plays. He’s such an intelligent forward who sees the ice very well and understands how to use his skill and speed to create space and make plays. Every game this season I’ve watched Thomas I don’t remember a bad outing. He shows you flashes of being a dynamic player while staying committed defensively. Thomas has the potential to be an important center for the Blues. Quote
GASabresIUFAN Posted June 28, 2018 Report Posted June 28, 2018 I would consider a top 6 or so league wide prospect just as valuable as top 6 winger or even top 4 d. Ok but how does that help us next season? Is either Thomas or Mittelstadt even close to being ready to take over any of ROR’s duties? Quote

Lanny Posted June 28, 2018 Report Posted June 28, 2018 link to Pronman's board? https://theathletic.com/194852/2018/01/16/pronman-2017-18-midseason-top-50-nhl-prospects/ Quote
