I definitely thinking trading Thomas would be a huge mistake. Maybe in a package deal for a guy like Tkachuk or Eichel, but this looks like an immediate downgrade that would only look worse over time.

FWIW, here are the top 5 even strength scoring rates of anyone with over 500 TOI drafted since 2017:

Jason Robertson: 2.84 EVP/60 in 54 GP
Elias Pettersson: 2.49 EVP/60 in 165 GP
Joel Farabee: 2.19 EVP/60 in 107 GP
Max Comtois: 2.17 EVP/60 in 94 GP
Robert Thomas: 2.08 EVP/60 in 169 GP

He had a tough year with injuries but seems to me a lot of people are sleeping on how good of a player Robert Thomas already is, and what he can be.

yeah he's a talent. i wouldn't trade him unless a package comes along with a clear upgrade that you just can't refuse.

dvorak is not that

Kevin Bahl is not likely to be moved.
But, would be interesting pairing with Parayko (both 6'6', 229 lbs)

Also, I'll take RT over Dvorak nine times out of ten.
