Boomer, Pinder et Rhett sont rejoints par Noodles de TSN pour dĂ©crire ce qui est devenu une saison brutale pour les Blues de St. Louis. Alors que Robert Thomas apparaĂ®t dĂ©sormais dans les rumeurs commerciales autour de la LNH, les gars tentent de comprendre pourquoi l’organisation envisagerait mĂŞme de dĂ©placer un centre de 26 ans avec un point par match. Est-ce juste une annĂ©e dĂ©cevante, ou y a-t-il quelque chose de plus profond qui se passe Ă Saint-Louis ? La conversation tourne autour de la question de savoir si les Blues peuvent avoir un problème culturel et ce que cette situation dit Ă propos de la #nhl #nhlshorts #nhlplayoffs #nhlpredictions #nhlhockey #nhlpicks #stanleycup #stanleycupfinal #stlouisblues #stlouis CONSULTEZ NOS ARTICLES ⬇️ BARN BURNER MERCH https://nationgear.ca/collections/shirts/Flamesnation BARN BURNER SHORTS https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj_bcGtvvo-cW2DHEDZ6dEO5ePDmlhZc9&si=jo8iNGxT4ImhS2Y8 📲 Suivez-nous : Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/fnbarnburner/ X (Twitter) : https://x.com/barnburnerfn?lang=en 🎧 Écoutez sur : Apple Podcasts : https://podcasts.apple.com/be/podcast/barn-burner-boomer-pinder-with-rhett-warrener/id1648562889 Spotify : https://open.spotify.com/show/3Mc6Qd5U22R2zbMlQ7RxIi Producteur : Jack Haverstock

I’m with Jamie on this one. Thomas & Kyrou are both really good players but I think St. Louis has realized that they’re not elite enough that they can build around.
Thomas is only considered “second tier” because he has nobody to help him on his line. If he was paired with one or two elite wingers he’d be absolutely in the conversation for top 10 center in the league
The word locally among connected hockey people here is that they think the issue is with this core not taking the steps they were expected to take, so the team is pivoting to a younger core, and Thomas is getting most of the chatter because he's the best player who would return the most assets. Also there is thinking that this core who hasn't got it done needs a shake up, one that shows them almost anyone Could be traded. That said, most here don't Want to trade Thomas. . .unless you get a deal you can't refuse.
The simple answer is Thomas has probably privately asked for a trade out of STL. The Blues technically don't have to trade him but there's a risk there that if the Blues don't comply, he goes public with his demand, fucks up the locker room, and kills any trade leverage the Blues have. You don't build around a guy who doesn't want to be here.
