Value of: Pavel Buchnevich

[Frenzy31]

I noticed in fantasy he has center eligibility but does he ever actually play center?

He did a few games, and was fine, but he is really a winger.

 

[CanMerc]

Just what the Jets need… another left handed winger.
Sure glad we don’t need anything else, like a 2C or top 4 RHD… nope let’s spend assets and cap on another left handed winger

 

[Ignite111]

Would love him on the island and Lou does hate first round picks..

 

[QJL]

Bring him back to the Rangers! KZB

I’d be open to Kakko + Jones.

 

[Kupo]

He's a tad arrogant and makes this place unbearable at times.


Oh you meant the NHL player. My bad.

Kuzmenko, Pettersson/Brzustewicz, 1st, 3rd

 

[Russian_fanatic]

The asking price is crazy. A 1st, a blue chip defensive prospect with top pair potential? Bo Horvat who is very similiar went for a 1st (top 12 protected), a top 9 forward, and a mid tier prospect.

Fans really do over value their players.

No, that's way too much.

Just to reiterate what Majorityof1 said in post #24, we're not expecting Nemec, just a guy who's projecting to be a top-4 defenseman but has an outside chance to be a nr 2 if everything breaks right. As a comparable, think Blues prospect Theo Lindstein. Add a (probably) 20+ first round pick and one or 2 other pieces,

I don't think that's a crazy ask for Buchnevich who's on a really good contract. Also, if the Blues are willing to move Buchnevich that probably means we've decided the retool will take another year and thus potentially retaining is an option as long as that increases the value coming back.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

No, that's way too much.

Idk, yes its alot of value but your talking about a PPG forward at a good cost for another year.

Maybe I'm going to the (reasonable) max, but with where our team is positioned I'd be willing to put our best foot forward. I think him & Eriksson Ek are good targets to give alot of value for as far as non-rentals go.

 

[Oak]

He's a pretty average poster with some strange hot takes, but he does post a gem now and again.

Bo Horvat was a pending UFA, Buch has an extra year on a good value contract. And we aren't asking for the top 9 player. So how much better than a mid tier prospect does adding the extra year and subtracting the top 9 player get you? If you don't like the ask, don't make the trade. With the extra year, we can wait.

I’m not sure if you have read any of the Buchnevich threads. The Blues need LHD. The general ask is a 1st + good LHD prospect.

I think William Wallinder type prospect and a 1st.

I don't think any of us really want to trade him so if we don't get a very specific thing we're totally fine keeping him. If he does get traded it has to be to improve our D.

Actually. This isn’t bad. A RHD with similar potential is just as good as a LHD. We only have Kessell in the system whi is a RHD.

We are talking about a player who is 2 years away so, and we have a ton of LHD.

Can change Brzust to Mynio

Solid D prospect, young nhl ready winger and a 1st seems like a decent deal for the Blues actually.

I would prefer Pettersson over brzustewicz, besides…the jersey letterer will thank you for not having 2 guys with the same name

Would Canucks do that?

 

[Homesick]

Oilers 2024 1st(I would do unprotected but it rarely happens anymore) 2026 2nd(conditional on him re-signing in Edmonton) and Phillip Broberg(LHD) for Buchnevich @50%
The higher pay grades can figure out the cap

You can't make conditions on a player resigning anymore IIRC.

You're absolutely right. Take the condition out and I would still do it

 

[topdawg]

I think he was talking about the red wings. I'd do that as a wings fan.

I would rather go with some of the other offers at this point. Broberg is almost a toss in, according to Edmonton fans. I think we could get a better d prospect from another team, and while Edmonton seems to be on the outside of the playoffs, they have turned the season around and with Buch, I think it becomes a late first rounder.
