Is Re-Whatever 2.0 going to be better?

[2forDiving]

I see that no one is disagreeing with me--unless you are in the camp of WAIT/WAIT/WAIT for an answer that we already know. That must be because I am spot on again.

If you don't see the need to demand an explanation from Army, you risk many years of losing hockey. 2025 is going to look good compared to what comes next.

Dear Army,
Why does Boston have a much better prospect pipeline than we do? Any ideas?
Why is it that you couldn't find prospects in your own pipeline good enough to acquire Thomas, while many other teams do have the trade value?
Love ASOGG.

Boston doesn’t have a better prospect pipeline.

The Blues do have a prospect pool that could acquire a player like Thomas.

Love Army.

What do the Blues need in return for Thomas--at bare minimum?
Answer: A young potential 1C. Because if Thomas is gone, we don't have anything that resembles 1C talent.

If the Blues had a potential 1C in the system, we would not NEED ONE in return for Thomas.

So Army at this time is scouting around for a young potential 1C, AKA a "younger Thomas". The unfortunate circumstance for Army is the THE BUYERS are generally NOT THE TEAMS with the large prospect pipelines. Nope, the BUYERS are teams like the Bruins that want to add one critical missing piece for another chance at a CUP. And THIS IS WHERE THE QUESTIONS ARISE!!! Why do the Bruins have the type of prospects that we don't have ourselves?!

So when Army makes a trade (if he makes a trade), ask yourself how the BUYER team has what we don't have? "Why do they have the young Thomas, but we don't"?.

Your last question is why Thomas isn’t being traded.

Totally agree…
