Pete Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 43 minutes ago, The Dude said: ? I did. Buchnevich salary is equal to Goodrow and Nemeth combined, with "about" (sensitive word for you) a million savings. Take them out. Put him in.. Not sure how you don't understand that that's what I was saying. I talked about the roster it would be in 22. It would maybe be without Strome, but it's looking like that's the case as is. Maybe re-read it??? Or I'll go back and edit?? Yeah, let's just totally ignore the fact that the goal was to be harder to play against...and Buch is more of the same. That's why he was easy to walk away from. The issue with the deal is not that we sent him packing, it's that we didn't get a first rounder back. But either way he was never going to be here this year. Also at this time of this post he was "almost" a point per game and "almost" a 35 point player... By your definition of almost. It was a hot take and you got burned. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To build a point off of "almost" is even more cringeworthy and make it even less salient.

Yep. Here the Rangers are,one of the top teams in the league, and we got folks pulling receipts that don't matter. So no one cares what Buch does because we couldn't afford him anyway. It literally does not matter one bit. Except for people's egos, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodka Drunkenski Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 I guess some people forget there’s a cap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunny Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 We're nowhere near the cap for this season. However, we did get a 25 year old who has 17 goals in 135 NHL games, and a scratch ticket. Pretty good return for a top 6 stalwart. Unrelated, but we're looking for a top 6 winger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karan Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Totally a botched deal by the Rangers and of course it's going to get more scrutiny by the fans thanks to the fact that Buchy's doing so well. But what the fuck can you do, win some, lose some. Dude did a solid job while he was with the Rangers, fan and locker room favorite so all you can do is wish him the best with his new team. Don't get this never ending analysis-paralysis with deals that went bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Not that they're comparable, but Blais getting injured early and being out for the rest of the season doesn't help either. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 I would've liked to keep Buchnevich too, but he's unfortunately a luxury we simply couldn't afford, I still feel. A lot of us begged for a grittier, tougher and less "perimeter" type team, and for good reason. The standings I believe reflect this to some degree. I agree with Sharpy that it looks worse now because Blais went down for the year, and that's just a shame because I think he'd have been a good fit right about now, after playing 1/3 of the season with his linemates. Add in the bullshit with Kravvy and it looks even worse, but I'll still go with the deal we made, because it was for a character player that was aimed to fill a pretty big hole with grit, toughness, size, and strength....and we got a #2 for this season which may even be used to help fill even more holes in the lineup, or used as currency at the deadline to make a run at it. I continue to wish Buch the best, and I hope he has a great career....but I still feel he'd have been a redundant player on this Rangers team.

Literally no space beyond this season. And who knows how much worse the return would've gotten knowing how in a bind we would have been for cap space after next season. We've seen what teams are trading to clear cap space. This was necessary asset management for the future.

Dunny Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 They could have just let him walk. You can do that. You can buy time to see how other things work out. They'd be out a 4th line RFA and a 2nd round pick. Whoop de do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Pretty sure Blais would be doing better than Hunt in that role and we probably wouldn't be looking for a winger. Also we haven't gotten into the what if Buch was here, then Kakko is on line 2 where he's Kakka, nor did they know at the time of the trade that Krav would be on round 2 of being a bitch boi. Everything went the way it was supposed to go except for the return on the trade. But he was never going to be here this year, and even if he was it wouldn't matter cuz he wasn't going to be here next year. He's not the guy that's going to make or break our fortunes this season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
