Go away with that potty mouth, you Refalancher guy!!He's like the Blues' Nichushkin. Making 2 mil more per year but at least he'll be in their lineup haha

Probably, but it's not the direction the blues should be going in6x8...
Is he worth 6x8?
Yeah, if you’re time traveling from 10 years agoWow! 8 millions sounds steep
Lock in mediocrity. This is the way.To me, it's the wrong move with the current state of the franchise. He should have been traded for picks/prospects. Army told the owner he thinks it's time for a new voice to be part of the GM process. It really doesn't appear that Army has a vision on what he wants to do.
Krug, Faulk, Perunovich, Parayko, Leddy, Tucker, Kessel...
I don't get it

The Blues have a good prospect pool along with Neighbors, Bolduc, Thomas and Kyrou on the current tram. You need a few vets to help the maturation process with all these youngsters. Buch is one of the best 2 way players in the league. 6x8 is a fair price.
Should have dealt him for a high end D prospect.
Takes a partner to make that happen. Are there actually teams willing to unload their high end D prospect for Buch?
Also would be willing to move Kyrou for someone like Reinbacher.
Would Montreal do that? Again, you need a partner in a position to actually make that trade.
Probably not them specifically, but I was just giving an examole of a player that could very well full that hole. We just need to find the right team that needs a top 6 forward.
A 29 yo late bloomer will look bad in a couple years? It’s a 6 year not an 8 year deal. Might look bad in his last year or two but no way cap hasn’t risen substantially by thenYikes, brutal. That will look bad in a couple years.
I understand, but wanting it is one thing, finding it is another. You can't just assume that deal is available. Teams bad enough to draft high end defensive prospects are generally not in the market trade that player for one like Buch.
Slafkovsky's contract is buying RFA years, it's not comparable to contracts like this that buy UFA years.Good player...seems a bit much for a soon-to-be 30 year old. Many were questioning Slaf's contract but from here it seems like a bargain.
