At the very least, Blais sounds like a perfect fit with Goodrow
I dont think anyone disagrees. The problem isnt blais by himself. the problem is we traded a guy who basically scored a point per game at even strength, for blais. The second doesn't balance the value even slightly.

This was terrible.
 
It was time to trade Buchnevich. The team is going in a different direction. They have other needs. But this return is underwhelming to say the least.

I disagree, could've waited till the deadline
 
So i know just because of this trade it makes me feel like we are f***ED for the now and the future. I have no idea what drury's thoughts are at on how we are creating this team. The trade is the trade, i just have no idea where we are going from here.

Now and future? We didn't give up our youth. Buch would of commanded 7M+ next year. We have Fox, Miller, Laf, Kakko, Zibanejad, Shesterkin, Kravtsov who will need raises in the near future.

You can't pay everyone 6M+.

The return was underwhelming, that I agree with. It's probably not the last trade for NYR tonight.

Oh trust me I know. Just trying to instill some positivity

It’s underwhelming to what extent though? What’s the barometer for his trade value? What were the other offers?

people jump to conclusions so fast
 
Why not? Why do we have to see every trade individual and not look at the roster construction as a whole? What you are saying is thinking like a fan. It’s simplistic and easy to label. But creating a competitive team is so much more complex than that. In any sport for that matter.

The roster construction as a whole is the result from the individual moves the team makes. And this individual move was horse shit, anyway you slice it.

When we evaluate this team on opening night, realize it could have been better if Drury managed the situation with Buch more optimally.
 
Rangers fans will love Blais. Hits everything and works hard. Maybe this website wont like him, but the majority of fans will.

To me its underwhelming because considering what was brought back it wouldn't hurt to just wait till the TDL imo. I don't see why he needed to be gone now especially if that was the best return

There are times when positivity is meaningless. The other thing to keep in mind, blais is an RFA next year... even if he has a fantastic year, and somehow scores 50 points, because he got on the third line here. We NOW HAVE TO PAY HIM!

Well im very nervous about the now.. I had faith in Drury but this trade of Buch has me very concerned about what we may be trading before this upcoming season and for what. I do fear that we will trade our youth for 2 pieces of Eichel.

Buch i agree you cant have 6M + per year but the return in ass, and it has me worried for future trades because its obvious that Drury isnt done putting his mark on this team
