Yeah I don't expect St. Louis to trade Thomas, but I'm not trading Caufield for him either why would MTL do that?
Caufield point a per game 0.721, Thomas at the similar stage of his career 0.680. So at a similar age Caufield is the better point producer and he is the better goal scorer too, which is more of a need for MTL.
Caufield's all around game has improved this season as well, as evidenced by his 49.67 xGF% compared to Thomas' 49.22 xGF% this season. They are quite similar in that department.
I wouldn't trade Caufield for Thomas straight up, and I'm not arguing against Blues fans who feel Thomas is untouchable as well for them - just pointing out that it makes absolutely no sense.
