If we want to cash in on Buchnevich at this TDL, this is what I would be looking for in return. I think a solid RD prospect, a 1st round pick, and a current roster player to balance out cap.

I made 2 scenarios to acquire Buchnevich, one being Kotkaniemi and the other being Teravainen. In both cases, the Blues are acquiring the RD and 1st round pick. I like the Kotkaniemi option more for the sake of acquiring a middle 6 center for the future. I think Thomas, Dvorksy, Kotkaniemi would be a pretty solid center core for years to come. The Blues can then move Schenn over to the wing position.

Snuggerud will join the team at the end of the regular season. I don’t think Minnesota is making it out of the regional if they match up against BC or BU (I think Minnesota is finishing 7-10). Snuggerud will make his Blues debut on 4/10 at home against Chicago. He’d slot into the 2nd line RW spot with Captain Schenn. Move everyone down one spot at RW and scratch Blais.
