Easy. Hypothetically, we think he's the 5th best 1C in rhe League. Everyone else thinks he's somewhere between 10 and 15 overall.Rollin' on the River wrote: ↑13 May 2026 22:18 pmHow does it not?STL fan in MN wrote: ↑13 May 2026 21:53 pmOk.

We value him more than other teams, but they still view him as a 1C.
If he's a 3C, you should have NO PROBLEM naming 60 centers you'd rather have. I'll settle for half that.
Time to show your work.

Re: Kyrou trade speculation to ottawa
The only team in the league you could say Thomas is a 3C on is the Oilers. You couldn’t name 16 teams (most teams) where Thomas would be a 2C.Rollin' on the River wrote: ↑13 May 2026 20:42 pmLook Ace.

2). I said he’s a 3C or Wing on SOME teams. He’s a 2C for every team in the league and a 1 on the bad teams.
