Thats....extremely underwhelming

[Sharpshooter]

Awful. Buch was just hitting his stride and the best you can get back is Sammy Blais?

[Phil]

Goodrow-Blais is going to be so fucking annoying to play against.

Getting Blais is fine, I was just hoping for a better return when it came to trading Buchnevich.

[Patrick Bateman]

Third line is going to be super legit

[BlairBettsBlocksEverything]

Underwhelming trade

[LindG1000]

Trading Buchnevich is the right move.

 

Getting a third line energy guy and a 2nd is not enough. Flat out.

[-ERIK-]

I'll miss Buch,was really developing into a solid well rounded player.

I don't know much about Blais,anyone have ideas?

 

Gotta be some more coming.

Drury wants a first for Georgiev and this is what he sells buch for :rofl:

 

 

Just terrible. Missing at least one more pick or player in the return

[Drew a Penalty]

They sold really low. While the fancy stats don't say it, the organization must think that Buchnevich was more of a beneficiary of his time with Kreider and Zibanejad than someone deserving of a raise. St. Louis is negotiating a deal with him now so we'll see what kind of contract he ends up with.

[BlairBettsBlocksEverything]

I really hope this means there is much more in the works

[RangersIn7]

Like Blais a lot.

 

But this is a light return.

[Winter]

So we got our 4th line RW for Buch. assuming as of now our top 6 wings are

 

-Panarin

-Kakko

-Lafreniere

-Kreider

-Kravtsov

-Chytil

Wtf drury??

[WWJD]

Precursor to Eichel deal? Don't like giving up a budding possible 30g scorer

[LindG1000]

The key value in this deal is the salary cap space we've freed up - something like 4-5m depending on what Buch signs for. Blais will be perfect on Goodrow's RW, but unless there's a bigger picture, it's hard to be excited about seeing a great player go for what feels like very, very little.

[Karan]

Well Dru got bent over pretty good in this one. Ouch.

Thats what I thought two season ago then I watched him play and realized hes actually good.

[Sod16]

Was hoping for Buch to be packaged with other assets in return for great riches.

 

We slowly developed a player over five seasons into something of a stud and in return get...

 

Well at least Blais is only making $1.5m, but he's in his last year and will get more next, we we start to not be able to afford it.

 

Buch should not shed a tear. He'll be a very good fit in St.L.

[Blue Heaven]

Weak!

[Tonybologna]

Wow yeah I was fine with trading buch but for something exciting, and of equal or better value. This ain’t it.

[Drew a Penalty]

Thats what I thought two season ago then I watched him play and realized hes actually good.

 

Agreed. We'll see how he does in St. Louis.

[Tonybologna]

Really wishing the Horvat thing happened, that would have been a lot better

[Keirik]

seriously? i mean for the love of god you value Georgiev as a 1st rounder but give up Buch for that?
