## Resource

Philadelphia Flyers fans are back with another wild trade fantasy — this time thinking the Robert Thomas could somehow be acquired for Noah Cates and scraps. While Cates is a solid middle-six forward with strong defensive upside, Thomas is a true first-line center coming off another elite offensive season and remains one of the most valuable pieces of the St. Louis Blues core. In this video, we break down why this trade idea makes absolutely no sense for St. Louis, the massive gap in offensive production between the two players, and why Flyers fans may be overvaluing their assets. We also discuss what a REAL package for Robert Thomas would actually look like if the Blues ever considered moving him. Are Flyers fans being unrealistic, or is there somehow a deal to be made? Let me know your thoughts in the comments.
