Next Year

I wonder if they keep Buch. Seen articles saying he might be on the block, but I’m hoping they’re wrong.

im thinking that they are just saying this as a negotiating tactic.

Hopefully. He played really well this year.

he did but we cannot afford to sign him more than 5.35 million. We are going to have to move him at some point when kakko and krav start to hit their stride.

I understand that part of it, but right now we aren’t sure if Kakko or Kravtsov even develop into true top six scoring wingers. And if they both don’t hit their potential and we trade Buch, we’d have no high end options in the system on the right side unless one of Laf (assuming he doesn’t bust), Kreider or Panarin move to the left.
