The Bruins are offering top prospects in return for Thomas, including Matthew Poitras and Dean Letourneau. They don&#8217;t see interested moving James Hagens at this time.<\/p>\n<p>The Mammoth have Tij Iginla and Cole Beaudoin who the Blues would love to get their hands on. The Mammoth won&#8217;t include both, but certainly will have to give up one of the best prospects to facilitate the deal.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Per <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FriedgeHNIC?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">@FriedgeHNIC<\/a> there\u2019s a decent chance Robert Thomas is traded by Friday\u2019s deadline. \ud83d\udc40<\/p>\n<p>He also said Utah is one of the teams in the mix. \ud83e\udda3 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/fK20TXGSrg\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/fK20TXGSrg<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 B\/R Open Ice (@BR_OpenIce) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BR_OpenIce\/status\/2027931787238776837?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">March 1, 2026<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Another sneaky team to keep an eye on &#8211; New York Islanders.
