That's an exorbitant price... a roster piece, a top prospect, and a first.

Vancouver isn't moving Willander

Numbers 4, 5, & 6 definitely are not getting accepted. Number 2 & 3 would never get offered (I think... ).

Number 1 is closest, and I guess if it happened I'd live with it, but I'm still not loving it.

I can't see Vancouver trading Willander for Buchnevich.
No thanks.

You are certainly not wrong. But let's remember, Army is not trying to trade him, he doesn't have to trade him, and Buch is a very popular player in the room. He holds all the cards. Somebody would have to bowl him over.

If that's the ask, then Vancouver just says keep him.

So Buch and his 1 career playoff goal is all of the sudden a highly sought after commodity that teams are willing to give up three or four drafts worth of top assets for?

LOL.

Considering that Buch is not a Center, Canes pass. Canes can’t afford to move a Center, especially one who is playing very well like Drury is, and not get a similar or better returning. Add in that Morrow is unlikely to be moved, it’s just not something they entertain.

Morrow is your second best defensive prospect. Canes deal is one of the lighter ones listed. It's going to take an exorbitant price to move Buch, but many teams are trying to Nickel and Dime with B level prospects.

aint nobody payin all that

Scroll only a few comments into this and find why Buch will be a Blue

These are all overpays for buch no chance any team pays those prices blues fan are delusional

Yes they are all overpays. Context matters

Holy cherry pick. Dude had 11 points in 12 playoff games for the Blues' top line in 21-22.

And why are we pretending he's not a highly sought after commodity? Do you not see the packages loads of fans from numerous teams are willing to pay for him?

There's a difference between value and the right value.

That's kinda the point, isn't it? He's not available. It would take a crazy offer to change that.

Rangers say no thank you.

armstrong is listening to offers

Heh. That is quite a disingenuous way to put it. Here is the exact passage from the article, verbatim:

"So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that, according to a league source, the Blues aren’t actively shopping Buchnevich. But they are listening, which they’d be foolish not to, considering the current state of the trade market, with very few true difference makers available. The source said the club would have to be wowed by an offer to even consider it."

Oilers decline instantly. You are asking for 4 1st round picks? Ridiculous.

We paid much less for more years of a more impactful Ekholm.

It's in the description. These are not asks.

So there it lies. Buch cannot be acquired without paying the Piper. You can have him but you must sacrifice your future. Your window is now and Buch could be what it takes to win the cup. Isn't that what is most important?

If you are not willing to sacrifice the future then he doesn't go anywhere. Thank you for participating in my TED Talk.

Rangers say keep him and win the cup if he is so good.

What are you yapping about? The Blues aren't a contending team and I never said they were. Don't act like there are any higher value names than Buch on the market right now though for a CONTENDING TEAM

But he is sooooooooooooooo good. Why can't he just win them a cup?

Agreed
