One year of Tkachuk , as good as he is, is not worth Thomas (who produced at over a point a game on a cheap contract and still some years away from UFA, and Schenn, who also produced at about a PPG pace and is signed long term at a reasonable rate.
I'd be surprised if the Blues gave up Thomas along for him, not based on talent per se, but based on cap value and control. And I know the Blues love Thomas, he still has projection left.
