NHL Rumors: David Carle's Coaching Future and St. Louis Blues' Robert Thomas Trade Strategy
David Carle Not Rushing to Join the NHL Ranks
University of Denver head coach David Carle has no immediate plans to transition to the National Hockey League. Despite engaging in discussions with teams such as the Chicago Blackhawks and Anaheim Ducks last offseason regarding potential head coaching roles, Carle's perspective remains firm. With his team once again advancing to the Frozen Four, he feels there's "zero reason to leave Denver in the near term — if ever," and emphasizes that there is "no rush to leave here."
Was Robert Thomas Trade Talk a Strategic Move by the St. Louis Blues?
Recent speculation surrounding a potential trade involving St. Louis Blues forward Robert Thomas was indeed legitimate, according to hockey insider Elliotte Friedman. However, Friedman also suggests that the Blues might have deliberately allowed these trade discussions to become public knowledge as a calculated tactic to motivate Thomas. While the team did explore various options, identifying Utah as a primary potential trade partner, a deal ultimately failed to materialize. This was reportedly due to the Blues' insistence on acquiring specific prospects, such as Caleb Desnoyers or Tij Iginla, whom Utah was unwilling to include. Friedman noted that the Blues were likely content if Thomas experienced a degree of discomfort or pressure from these trade rumors, implying the move was designed to ignite his performance.
