Expect big time games from Petr Sykora, Doug Brown, and Jay Pandolfo

I don't know, I still think he turns into a 70+ pt player, he has all the skill in the world and when he's confident he just takes over. I think once our team around him has developed, he has stable linemates, etc he will be playing like that confident Buch we saw against Detroit, all the time. I see him as sorta being in a similar spot as Mika when we traded for him, a very streaky player who hasn't put it all together consistently. And now we have Mika locked up on a great contract, imagine if we had to sign Mika at the end of this season.

If we could sign him long term at 5M I'd rather do that than sign him for 2 years at 3.5M and him end up paying him 8M in a couple years.

70+ ?

So Buch going to be a ~top 20-12 player annually ?

Naaaaaaaa…

 

[Leetch3]

finally have a player with talent that isn't lazy

 

[EdJovanovski]

Naaaaaaaa…

Going by the trend (currently 69 players on pace for 70+ pts) yes
You don't think Buch playing with someone like Panarin a few years down the road when we're competitive can put up 70pts?

Staal healthy scratched.

THE WAITING IS OVER!

I think he's overrated, and AV wasn't ruining him.

 

[Barnaby]

Buch scoring 70+? I'm not willing to bet on that. He's a bridge guy to me.

I'd be very surprised... I suppose it's possible if he gets a ton of ice time consistently playing on the first line and top PP unit... he's def talented, but I don't see as having the ability to be a near PPG player.

We shall see!

 

[Machinehead]

My body needs Zibanejad and Kreider to get some points going again.

 

[duhmetreE]

Panarin Zibs Buch....

... And he'll score 70+,if he can bring it like he has been

A top line was nice for how little it lasted.

Kreider-Zibanejad-Whoever has been a legit first line for awhile. Maybe not one of the best first lines but definitely a first line.

Zibanejad needs a playmaker

 

[Machinehead]

Zibanejad needs a playmaker

The line definitely needs another element.

Zibanejad is a shooter and Kreider is the meat and potatoes. They need the passer.

 

[CaptTennille]

I don’t think we can out tank NJD, so let’s just beat them pillar to post.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Huh?

 

[duhmetreE]

Huh?

It's why he has been playing balls to the wall... He's now American

'MERICA!

Lol go team.. whatever gets him scoring for NYR

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

So what do we have to give to see Zibanejad with Lemieux and Buch?

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

We shall see!

AV might still ruin him. The hardest bias to break is the Russian bias.

Contract year.

Contract year.

Ironically, this is a German band
