This can't possibly be the deal. Because if it was true, why wouldn't the Rangers do this? Buch is a great winger for us. But Horvat is captain material and a center and exactly the kind of player our top 9 needs. If we lose out on point production so be it. Horvat is skilled heart and soul.
Yea I’m calling bogus on that rumor sorry. No offense to Buch but Horvat way too important to Van. They move Boeser first imo

I don't believe that Buch trade rumors until I hear it from someone on the Vancouver side of things.
 
I think they've offered him a few "learning roles" but he wants to jump in w/o doing the work.
I kind of think Messier would be pretty good as a coach right away. Not for the Rangers, though. Maybe for a more veteran team. Probably would have worked ok with the Wild last season before Parise and Suter got cut.
But that’s basically because I believe a head coach in the NHL is primarily a mood maker and component of the leadership core.
 



You know, I've come to an epiphany: while we have the largest American fanbase in the NHL and while we're the most valuable franchise in the entire NHL, we have without a shadow of the doubt the worst bloggers and worst beat writers (not to mention a really crappy owner). I don't know how and I don't know why, but the media coverage of the Rangers, both published and freelance, is absolutely abysmal. On the professional side, you have shit-stirrer Larry Brooks, a schmuck in Carpy and apathetic non-insiders like Vince Merc and Colin Stephenson, and on the blogging side you have attention-whores who will report bullshit stuff for attention like David Shapiro, Greg Kaplan, Adam Herman, Joe Fortunato and the Forever Blueshirts guy.


Seriously, we can't do better? The NEW YORK RANGERS. America's Hockey Team. The only team in New York City. They can't do better than these hacks?

There are very, very few quality writers anywhere. There's very little quality journalism in general, not just in sports.

It's just the reality of the world where all media is profit-driven and stirring shit gets the most attention.
 
Any rumors that get put out into the universe I take with a grain of salt

Like do I think Buchnevich for Horvat could be a thing? Yeah cause Jim Benning is an idiot

Do I think it’s likely? No not really
