It’s simply not enough imo

First is nice but it’s 2 years out. Just not palatable for retaining 2.8 on buch for next season as well. Could probably get similar at next deadline.

Samoskevich is quite good

No, it's three drafts away.



For college, yeah. At the NHL level, I'm not convinced. He actually plays smaller than he is, and he's already a little smaller than average.

Not particularly close, either.

Florida is a better team without Buchnevich.
It's not necessary to do this trade.

Yes but not who’s I’d want as the main piece in a Buch trade

Blues decline. We have a lot of forward prospects so that's not a need. A 2026 1st is pretty far away and that's not appealing for the blues.

How do you figure this lmao

Im saying it as an opinion.

A 2026 1st is more valuable than a 2024 1st

Not for us unless it's a top 10 pick which we have no idea it will be. The prospect we pick with it won't play in the NHL until late 2028/2029 which is the standard for most prospects. That's already really far off and not that appealing to us

If you’re wanting a rebuild to last 10 years sure. Most 1st round picks take 3-5 years to make it to the NHL. it’s also not a gaurantee that the pick is any better, or that a player picked in the 10-15 range has any more of an impact than a pick in the 20-32 range.
