You’re going to have to part with a much bigger package for Buchnevich at 50% this deadline. Feasibly more than Meier got last season at the deadline. That’s two playoff runs of a two-way PPG player at 2.9m AAV. Almost every team in contention could find a way to make that work.

To go on top of that. It would take a pretty bad month or month and a half from the Blues and a good run from the Jets/Coyotes/Wild for the Blues to really approach selling. The past 5 games have been really strong foundational showings from the group.

Nope. Not an interesting offer at all.

1. Edmonton needs another GM, not another goalie.

2. St. Louis is not moving Buchnevich unless someone overpays.

3. San Jose will give you future considerations for Smejkal.

Blues decline. Your going to need a much better package for buch at 50%

OTT is not trading a lottery pick for Buchnevich, Pavel

People don't know anything about Ostapchuk, so of course not going to value him like GMs would. Same for Brannstrom, fans see him as a low producer on a 3rd pairing and think he's a bust. You're not going to get any value for that on this website. But I see this ACGM was not made by a Sens fan.

And that 1st need protection. Ottawa can't afford to trade another Top-12 pick (If they keep the same coaching staff and bomb the season)

I'd be very interested in Buchnevich but with Dorion continuous mismanagement, we can't really afford to trade for him, unless you put Pinto on the table.

DW blues decline this anyway, Also how long time you guys will stop being a lottery team

as soon as new ownership stops trying to imitate Melnyk and fires the entire coaching staff and hire a actual NHL HC
