He is PPG just like Zuccarello. :)
Yeah I know Kreider was the person who suppose to be move 30 years old now and Blues might be dangerous in the playoffs.
All f***ed up, but the GM left and work with the Nucks franchise now.
 
If you need to be reminded why we dealt him maybe you should have paid more attention in the first place. It's been 6 months.
 
They should never sign Kreider he is nowhere close to a top goal scorer in NHL that is the main reason. No cap. for 26 years old Buch and bad GMìng while paying an expensive contract for a russian that did not help much his x NHL club Columbus Blue Jackets.

For me, it's not so much that we traded Buchnevich. It's more that we got shit value for him. I said it at the time - this was Drury's Miller/McDonagh trade.
For me it’s not just what we got, it’s what we got and when we got it. I refuse to believe that Buch’ value was at its maximum last summer. One could say you couldn’t have predicted his performance this year, but it was totally predictable. You’re telling me he wouldn’t fetch a first at the TDL this year?

He needed to be moved. Cap space next year is a problem. Cap space this year is not a problem at all.

Now we are likely to deal more than what was returned for Buch to rent a player that is worse than him for a few weeks at the end of the season.

I still think Drury had a plan for all of this open cap space this season that didn’t work out for some reason. That’s the only way I can make sense of the timing of this trade.

Yes it is not on Drury our current GM, but this season is actually Kreiders best season when I look at stats and close to PPG, and only 5 goals behind Leon Draisaitl.

His first goal last night was nice, but on the 2nd one going five-hole on an empty net is kinda...

Meh.
