Buy-low radar
Robert Thomas is a Prime Buy-Low Target
The Blues' top center has rebounded with 10 points in his last six, yet his full-season pace still looks pedestrian. Here's why that's an opportunity and which players you can move to land him.

Ranking snapshot
Season rank ~200 in Yahoo
Still rostered in ~80% of leagues, but that rank keeps the trade cost reasonable.
The Facts
- Has rediscovered his scoring touch after a slow start (3G, 7P over the last six games).
- Current pace sits around 63 points—well below last season's 95-point pace, leaving positive regression on the table.
- St. Louis owns the league's second-lowest PDO, a luck stat that usually snaps back toward 100.

Players to move
Troy Terry
ANA • RW
Solid name value but lower ceiling than Thomas once Blues heat up.
Nick Schmaltz
UTA • C/RW
Hot streak boost makes him a perfect sell chip.
Bo Horvat
NYI • C
6 points in last 11 GP—use the name brand to pry Thomas loose.
Tyler Bertuzzi
CHI • LW/RW
Might be too late, but still a candidate if someone loves the hits/PP1 combo.
