Moving Buch

Way too much for Vancouver to pay here. No chance there’s a possibility of 2 1st round picks plus 2 quality prospects plus a roster player.. I understand asking for more to start negotiations but realistically take out the 2nd and the conditions and 1 of the prospects.

This is just way too rich for anyone to consider.

I would argue that Buchnevich is worth way more than 1 Prospect (excluding Willander and Lekkermari), Garland and a 1st. Especially if there is retention.

I’m not saying he’s not, but there’s definitely a middle ground between that kinda offer and the one posted. The one posted is similar to Eichel value if not more and Buchnevich is not on the same level at all.

This offer is roughly emulating the Timo Meir trade.

Mukhamdulim = brustewicz
Johansson = Garland
Zetturlund = Podkolzin
1st + conditional 2nd.

There were some other minor pieces to that trade but essentially the base of it. I know Meir was a bit younger and pending RFA but with Buch you get a year and a half at a lower cap hit.

Closer than most, but I'm afraid it's a no thanks from me.
