The Athletic links Robert Thomas to two specific teams
The St. Louis Blues are playing a dangerous game with Robert Thomas as the trade deadline looms.
Fans in Missouri don't want to hear it.
But Doug Armstrong might actually pull the trigger on a massive trade to reset the roster.
Thomas was the 20th overall pick in the 2017 draft and he's lived up to the hype as a superstar.
He's a legit top-line center with a heavy $8,125,000 price tag.
Yet the Blues are stuck in neutral and need a fresh start.
Chris Johnston thinks the Los Angeles Kings are the perfect fit to replace Anze Kopitar.

Imagine Thomas feeding passes to Artemi Panarin in the bright lights of Hollywood.
It's a scary thought for the rest of the Pacific Division.
Then there's the messy situation with Shane Wright in Seattle.
He was the 4th overall pick in 2022 and he's a total bargain at $886,666.
But he's buried on the fourth line and he's only playing 13 minutes a game.
Winnipeg should jump on this and offer Cole Perfetti to fix their center depth.
Calgary is also desperate to move Nazem Kadri and his $7 million contract.
He's 35 now and he's starting to look like a total anchor for the Flames.
If Montreal actually trades for him, they're out of their minds.
