<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Canucks33</b></div><div>Taking on the Garland contract is a fair point and requires some value attached to it besides STL hypothetically liking him as a player. But also consider that
a) Buch has a M-NTC (could angle his way to 2-4 particular teams)
b) Most teams that would be interested in Buch do not have cap space (this was listed as a major reason why we got Zadorov for cheap despite CGY not wanting to move him to us)
c) Other interested teams may not have prospects as good as Lekkerimaki or a contract they can easily move to make cap space.

The thing with Willander and Bruscewitz is that they are RHD, which is a premium asset and the kind that never gets moved. Every team in the league that offered a valuable piece to NYR in the last 2-3 years has asked for Schneider (including us with Miller probably) and it hasn't happened, young RHD just don't get moved. Consider further that RHD is an area of need for VAN and we have barely had any in the system at all over the last number of years, let alone prospects as good as those guys look right now. I don't think they can be compared to the Makmahdullin or Ohkotiuk (especially cause SJS clearly went for quantity over quality in that specific deal). I understand Buch is a premier asset and you have to ask high, but in reality VAN isn't including one of those guys let alone both.

I think Garland + Lekkerimaki + 1st 2024 for Buch is at least a solid framework for a deal with the understanding that the market will dictate if anything else needs to be added.</div></div>

While I mostly agree with you. RHD wasn’t the focal point but however is the focal point of your prospect group. We are just so stocked at forward prospects that it shouldn’t be a priority. Kyrou and Thomas are signed for 8. Schenn for 4-5. Neighbors looks great so far. Then we have Dvorsky, Snuggerud, Bolduc, Stenberg and Dean who are likely to become NHLers.

It’s a good fit but a bad fit if premiums are being thrown on.
