Holy crap I haven't made an ACGM since July??

Not really enough for Buch anyways though

Someone like Schneider would be the first piece asked for I’d imagine, also I’d think the blues would rather Laf then kakko

Drury/Rangers would never trade for Buch. The optics for the organization and front office would look bad.

This.

The optics have been bad since he traded him away. That's not going to change.

You think so? It looked like it's what Blues fan ACGMs wanted (provided that they weren't retaining any salary, which I honored).

The Blues primary need is a proper partner for Parayko - someone like Lindgren, for instance. If not that, then a legit top 4 young Dman/D prospect - Schneider fits that bill. A late 1st and Kakko (who I might love to have in a properly valued exchange) is not getting Buch back.

Huh, interesting, because I would have said Kakko was a better "prospect" (for lack of a better term) than Schneider is. I don't think the front office would do it because Schneids isn't on the block like Kakko, but it's a yes from me

I prefer Miller over Lindgren, but I understand that is a tough ask.

I do, i think if the blues do trade him, this offer gets beat. but also Kakko doesnt have that high a value atm either

So your saying Drury's ego would interfere with sound management decisions ? Good to know.

Not so much his ego, but that of the entire front office and organization.
