Rumor: We now know exactly what the Sabres are offering for Robert Thomas

UPDATE: Former NHL defenseman turned rumor-monger Jordan Schmaltz is now reporting online that the Sabres' offer to the St. Louis Blues for forward Robert Thomas includes former 1st overall pick Owen Power, former 14th overall pick Konsta Helenius, and former 8th overall pick Jack Quinn.

Yowza... if that's true, Blues GM Doug Armstrong needs to make this deal ASAP.

Read below for our earlier reports on this developing story.

According to rumor reports from TSN insiders Chris Johnston and Darren Dreger, Buffalo Sabres GM Jarmo Kekalainen has offered "multiple 1st round picks" to the St. Louis Blues in pursuit of forward Robert Thomas.

Johnston clarifies Dreger stating that technically Kekalainen has offered the "equivalent" of multiple 1st round picks.

After years and years and years of futility are the Sabres about to go all in on their first foray back to the post-season?

Honestly? Go for it.

Sabres fans have been tortured for an entire generation now. Even if they get bounced in the 1st round, why not give their fans something to get excited about? Sabres fans are sick of hearing about prospects and 1st round draft picks. A player like Thomas will certainly bring more excitement to this team's fanbase.
