Pitt says no. Blues much more likely to get Graves from them who has been bad fit in Pitt but was good year before on NJ

Unfortunately, I think we are stuck with that D-Core for one more season with all the NTC offered. I think we need to move on from at least Hayes or Saad maybe both. I want to sign a 2C whether that’s Stephenson or Monahan. I wouldn’t mind trading Buchnevich too, whether that’s during the summer or maybe give it a run and move him at the deadline if we are out again. I think we will see a shakeup take place starting 2025-26 season when we have more flexibility with the lineup.

I think Tucker/Alexandrov are more in the waive or make it category vs the having value for someone

May be true; but both are young players that PIT desperately needs. Would be fine adding a 2024 3rd to this deal and switching Tucker to Buchinger to get the deal done.
