I keep reading that there is no way we can sign Buch. Why? Don't we have like 11 mil in dead cap space coming off the books + Smiths 4 mil. What are realistic numbers to extend him that would work for both parties?
I agree the Rangers can re-sign Buch. But I don’t think they can go long term. Two or three year extension after next season is my guess. Assuming he’s amenable.
 
Pure speculation, but imo he was too full of himself. Like he thought: "Ofc I'll make the NHL, I'm a seventh overall pick, son of bla and so on.

Very similar to Kravtsov but different paths once the reality hit that words and early accolades don’t mean shit if you don’t shut your mouth, put the head down and start putting in hard work.

I know a lot of people joke and meme but he's the first kids that can actually play center imo. based on his, albeit limited, on ice gameplay.

He commands the ice. His skating, puck/stick handling, vision, playmaking and IQ are all there. He has the size as well. Opposed to Chytil who I never really liked at center or his overall game in general. I used to get 'grief' for saying what I saw.

As silly and premature as it may sound, I'm confident in his abilities.
