The Blues would absolutely need to be getting 1-2 NHL ready young centers back in the trade for it to make any kind of sense.

With Schenn likely being moved at some point, I can't see them also moving Thomas and having basically no quality veteran centers on the team.
Let’s put Suter at 1C until he’s traded then Devo should be ready. Followed by Sunny at 2C….unless he’s traded.
well we would be asking for kappen pinto back from those two trades that would make one of those guys and dvo top two centers. also we have chance for the top center in the draft and we have stenberg with suter and bjstad.... i get the sarcasm but if we trade him the haul will help the team.

I get your point of buying low and selling high. However, you can't run a team of first and second year players out there. It's a mans game. You need seasoned veterans to provide leadership, teach the younger players how to win, how to act on and off the ice, and protect the kids. Otherwise, you'll end up with a situation like Buffalo has had for ten years.
