Best Young Talent Available for Trade

[stanw]

As much as I think it is best to move on from Thomas, I think that a trade in the off season is more likely. It would give more teams a chance to bid since rosters are being built in the offseason, allowing likely a better return.

...as speculated per the Athletic's Chris Johnston. Important to note, this list is also filtered by whom he projects as buyers at the trade deadline (heavy on Detroit and Montreal).

Tier1
Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | RW | Detroit
Nate Danielson | C | Detroit
Michael Hage | C | Montreal
Alexander Zharovsky | RW | Montreal

Tier2
Carter Bear | C/W | Detroit
Sebastian Cossa | G | Detroit

Carolina and/or Detroit have some nice prospects--Should be an interesting deadline.
Blues may hold on to Thomas and Kyrou and trade Faulk or they may go big. Who knows--not I.
Nadeau is having a nice AHL season.
