Dreger: Buchnevich is likely to be traded

[Leviathan]

Didn't see a thread for this one, hope I didn't miss it. Last night on OverDrive (TSN 1050) Dreger said he expects Armstrong to trade Pavel Buchnevich



I have listened to the clip and he does indeed say this. at about 5 mins 30 secs in

Dreger on Dubas' revamped vision in Pittsburgh, the Penguins unlocking the market and the Flames commanding the high price

TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger joined OverDrive to discuss the Canadiens and Senators dipping into the trade market, the Flames overseeing the league's prominent deals, Chris Tanev and Noah Hanifin's price point, Kyle Dubas' vision, the Penguins aiming to sell at the deadline and more.

My guess Vegas with zero retention cause they have cheated the cap to allow it. And St Louis needs to shed some cash and retain nothing.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Why the rush? Blues are in a playoff spot and Buchnevich has an extra year on his contract.

 

[dirtydanglez]

still has term. he could get a really good return. surprised they are willing to move him.

 

[A1LeafNation]

If they are trading Buch, might as well trade Binner. They can't risk Binnington having another down year and trying to trade him then.

 

[Oscar The Grouch]

Hopefully to another message board...

 

[datsyukfan]

Maybe Detroit, he would fit great in the top 6. Armstrong and yzerman make a lot of deals

 

[Spektre]

Army always keeps his cards close to his chest. He’s not leaking anything.

Per JR in the Athletic today:

“So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that, according to a league source, the Blues aren’t actively shopping Buchnevich.

But they are listening, which they’d be foolish not to, considering the current state of the trade market, with very few true difference makers available.

The source said the club would have to be wowed by an offer to even consider it.

However, while Armstrong may not be actively looking to part with Buchnevich, another thing to keep in mind is that other clubs are operating as if it’s a possibility. There were scouts on the Blues’ recent road trip to Buffalo, Montreal and Toronto keeping an eye on the winger.”

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Chris Johnson of The Athletic "The Blues are going to need a haul to move him now - think a package that exceeds the return Calgary got from Vancouver for Elias Lindholm"

Unless the Blues get wowed by a offer they should totally keep him until they get one.

 

[bleedblue1223]

Excited about the potential return.

 

[Vitto79]

Blues ripped off NYR
Send him back

 

[Petes2424]

Just doesn’t make much sense to move him, unless they get what they want. So your proposals should probably go big.

How many Rags fans would have pitchforks if it cost Miller?

Why does stl need to shed cash?

 

[biturbo19]

Which of the contenders/playoff teams even have the right assets to get this deal done?


Rangers maybe, if Blues still really dig Kakko +++ or something?

Detroit could get it done. They've got all sorts of top tier trade chips with Edvinsson/Kasper/Danielson/ASP. But would they really go there for a winger?

Dallas might have some pieces depending on how St.Louis view Mavrik/Stankoven, but i'm not sure they'd move them either. Again, not for another winger.

Jets aren't really the type of organization to move top prospects for short term solutions generally.

Bruins and Avs really need a Center more anyway.

Canes don't make those sort of megadeals.

Vegas and Edmonton have completely empty cupboards and Vancouver already blew their "Lindholm return" on...well...Lindholm, who they needed badly as a Center.

No idea what the Kings are doing.


It's just really hard to see where the fit is going to be to give up an absolute haul for Buchnevich from a playoff team.

 

[crowi]

While Dreger is dogshit, if Blues are going the rebuild route then now it's time to sell him. He's such a good player too.

 

[Robtom18]

Kasper wallinder plus would be my guess

Hm I wonder how they know that those scouts were keeping an eye specifically on that Winger. And not one of the other 40ish players dressed that game.

Why does stl need to shed cash?

Just something I heard during the attempted Parayko dump last year. Could be wrong tho.

None of those 4 are moving for a soon to be 29yo winger.

I just have a really hard time seeing Vancouver going that "all in" to move Willander. Management has more or less stated as much.

If the Blues wanted to listen on Lekkerimaki+ then sure. But i feel like Willander has to be one of the untouchable assets in the system. He's just way too important.

 

[Vitto79]

It won’t so won’t worry lol

[biturbo19]

I mean...yeah. Probably not. That's what i'm saying.

I just don't see a team out there that is positioned to move the sort of pieces like that, which would spur the Blues to actually move Buchnevich. If they're truly after an absolute "haul" like that.

He's a great player...but he's ultimately still just a winger with only a year remaining to a bigtime UFA payday.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Kasper wallinder plus would be my guess

Pretty easy pass, for what Blues fans want at least on this board I have no interest. Now he won't go for what is being requested here but I do think the price is too steep for a winger which isn't the Wings issue.
