easy no from STL i would think

Yeah. That package probably doesn’t get buch, let alone our goalie of the future and a great 4th line guy who plays up.

Hofer is all but unavailable, so forget that noise. And unless you lead with your 24 1st, Buch ain't available.

Yeah, I doubt they'd accept but this would be a great way to retool if they did

LOL! Buchnevich isn't worth a top 10 pick. Come on dude.

I mean I would say that Buchnevich is worth more than well over half of the Columbus blue Jackets last 10-15ish top ten picks. A PPG player in their prime is worth at least a top ten 1st even if he only has one year left. Now if he is worth that to the Senators is another question.

I did not claim he was. I said that's what it would take, which is a different thing entirely. Ottawa does not have anything else of real interest to be the lead piece (at least nothing they'd be willing to give up, as I'm assuming Sanderson is a non-starter).

This is the reality. Somebody would need to coerce Army into giving up a player he wants to keep and extend. The standard guy openly on the block prices do not apply here.

This is the furthest thing from appealing from a Blues fans POV. Don't see any reason why they'd move Hofer, he's been fantastic and is primed to take over for Binnington probably in the near future. Although Binnington has been nothing short of fantastic this year so it may push the timeline back. I have no idea what Kastelic does, but Toropchenko doesn't look like he'll be moved this offseason he plays a heavy game, is a good skater and has a big frame. He's been scoring alot more goals than expected this season as well. In terms of Buchnevich for Chychrun I can see the rationale there. But unless we're somehow getting out from under Krug this offseason I don't see a real fit. We tie up his money into the defense and lose Buchnevich we're already cutting into our weakest area which is secondary scoring.

Forsberg has been awful for you guys this year, which i'm not sure if it's a true testament to him or just how dysfunctional the Senators team defense is in general. I wouldn't want that contract when we have the money we do already dedicated to Binnington. I definitely don't see the benefit of swapping Buchnevich for Chychrun to be worth moving Buch and Toropchenko for Kastelic and Forsberg and a 3rd. I'm not sure if I even see the benefit in a 1 for 1 given where we are currently at and what we already have cap commitments to.

Yea Blues decline
If there isnt a 24 first, as i assume this is at the Draft, then blues say no.

Is this a troll post?

Easy no for the blues. Hofer isn't being traded. Chychrun is the only valuable piece here and the rest are meh. Toropchenko is a good cheap bottom 6 forward.
