"Trick" is a nice synonym of "Circumvention" lol.

haha yeah I was trying to think of a funny name for it. Was either Trick or Scam lol

100% could see that with Stone being injured, Guentzel will be getting traded to VGK.

no reason for the Sens to just give Branny away for peanuts

Would prefer the Pens to get a legit top prospect and a player who can help them now as opposed to several picks. Dorofeyev could be a piece but not the main piece.

I think it's a pretty fair trade. He's already a young cheap effective player who's still growing. Maybe in lieu of the 2nd they add Brisson or a good prospect, but I like the framework of this deal. Having someone they can use right now and have a good amount of futures.

Blues decline. Gonna need a lot better prospect coming back to us

I devalued him as I'm assuming he doesn't get re-signed with the club, so the club moves him at TDL for a pick.

Lol typical blues fan. I thought I was offering almost too much, but I forgot Blues fans want a return similiar to what Eichel got in the Buffalo trade.

Lol this trade is not even close to the eichel trade. I'd rather have the Lindholm package than this easily. IT's a late first, a C-tier prospect, a 2025 2nd and a 3rd. It's a bad offer for 1.5 years of buch. I'd rather have the Guenztel package and he is only a rental

It was just mentioned this week the price is high for Buch. Think a good prospect, a first and probably a roster player coming back minimum. It’s 2 playoff runs and a PPG player on a very friendly deal. It won’t be cheap.

You probably need to start with Edstrom and even then it doesn’t excite me compared to other teams who could bid

Oh just stop. Your offer is not suitable. The Blues are not San Jose. They want different things.

How could you possibly think a late 1st, 2nd, 3rd, plus a C tier prospect is offering too much for a non rental ppg player.
