Speculation: Roster Building Thread XIII

[Lindberg Cheese]

that seems like a lot for Buch. I'd be thrilled though.

Drury does this all day. STL wouldn’t pay that much tho. Does Buch get us Newhook straight up?

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

I would pull the trigger on that. Don't think the Blues would add their first...maybe their second?
Just checked they don't have their second this year.

overlooked #17 as well, yeah I dont think they do all 3.. I thought it was just Thomas and Sanford.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Would be surprised if he was available for Buch, but Tomasino would be a great add.

 

[JohnC]

I am cautiously optimistic about a Buch trade though.

Getting strange flashbacks to Nash for Tolvanen, Stepan for Dylan Strome, McDonagh for Sergachev.

The list of overestimated value goes on and on...

Honestly I don't even know that they do this.

17+Sanford sounds more realistic, unless hes going there with an extension.

 

[mas0764]

Lmao Zibanejad, Kakko, and 15??? And Minny just gives up Rossi? What in the world

Don't forget: "Rangers add more to us."

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Safe to say he isn't being traded....

8 years 10m incoming

 

[mas0764]

Well they were crying over Kravtsov, Schneider, 15 and one of Buch or Chytil when I looked earlier

They are really going to cry when they don't even get near that.

Or, we will really be crying.

Buch may be a bit different. Starting to peak or at least at his peak and his age (pretty young). He should bring back a decent return. we shall see.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Dman means Da Man in that regard, right?

Man the USA is really producing some amazing blue liners lately!

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Or, we will really be crying.

We'll be crying of laughter.

 

[Mac n Gs]

Robert Thomas would be an excellent starting point.

From Nashville, Phil Tomasino would be an excellent starting point.

There’s a lot of smoke here.

Absolutely nailed it here. Tomasino was one of my favorites from the 2019 draft, and was an absolute machine on a loaded Chicago Wolves team last year. He scored 32 points in 29 games as a 19 year old in the AHL! He’s also a phenomenal skater and has potential to be a center down the line, though it’s more likely he plays wing.

Love Kyrou, but would STL really move him?

STL also has a very strong asset in that Russian forward they drafted 1-2 years ago. His name escapes me now. But not sure if he fits into our plans. He was mentioned in relation to Puljujarvi a while back too.

Not sure, but the only interesting targets from the Blues are those two. Kyrou took a huge step last season and got bumped to 1RW with ROR. Thomas had an iffy year, but has the better track record and some playoff history. I’d be thrilled with either.

 

[duhmetreE]

Robert Thomas is really intriguing. What happened to him this season? Had to be playing through something

He seems like the Center version of Fox

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Kyrou would be great, but I don't see it.

I think Thomas is for sure attainable though.

I’d rather have Kyrou. Thomas can play C yes but he’s just a younger Ryan Strome. Playmaking, pass-first type. Kyrou is a speedy goal scorer which we lack

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

I'd want Kyrou I think, because I believe the Blues would intend to keep Buchnevich as their 1RW. It's like Brassard/Zibanejad all over again, except Buchnevich is peaking at the right time but we have others already in Kakko and Kravtsov,. He is better than Kyrou and if he stays with STL will continue to be.

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

8 years 10m incoming

We gotta move on from Mika - if we use Buch, Strome, 15oa, Jones, Georgiev correctly we should be able to get 2 really good up and coming Cs - add that to Chytil/Barron/Goodrow we’ll find the right mix next year and be able to pay everyone through Miller and Lafs expiries.

 

[Thirty One]

Point for McDonagh. Talbot for Draisaitl and Nurse.

 

[Raspewtin]

Thomas plays with more effort than Ryan Strome ever has in his NHL career. they are both pass first but that's about where it ends.

 

[egelband]

would anyone be interested in a Kadri

NHL Rumours Ottawa Senators Nazem Kadri Avalanche - TSN.ca

i'd take a gamble on him.

Doubt the Rangers are interested. Kadri has less self control than Charlie Sheen. That’s not the Rangers m-o.

Thomas actually has a great shot

 

[CLW]

What's worrying to me is if Buchnevich is getting heavily rumored with some west coast team, like LAK or STL, then it gives me the vibe that Drury is gonna move Strome+Kakko in the Eichel deal. And I really hope Kakko doesn't get moved, there has to be a way we can get Jack without giving up Kakko

Kakko in 3 years could be a monster worth a Rantanen/Tkachuk type of haul. Simply no point in moving him for an injured Eichel. The kid is also practically designed for Turk hockey.

 

[Off Sides]

He scored 32 points in 29 games as a 19 year old in the AHL! He’s also a phenomenal skater and has potential to be a center down the line, though it’s more likely he plays wing.

I too liked Tomasino (well still do) yet I think that ship sailed when the Rangers decided to both trade back the Jets pick for Trouba, and also not sell Kreider for a pick that maybe would have netted them a draft slot to pick him.

Last I read about him, as I remember, it indicated he was playing center.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Let's get something straight...Kakko is not getting traded.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Thomas plays with more effort than Ryan Strome ever has in his NHL career. they are both pass first but that's about where it ends.

You could replace one of his legs with Tarasenko's severed arm and he'd be a better skater than Strome too.

 

[NYR Viper]

We saw something like this just recently with Mantha for Vrana +. Buch for Kyrou +?
