Description
The Buch trade (or not) is a tough decision but I lean toward moving him and building the future. Could get a lot more for him this deadline than next. Idk how the Jets value those guys so feedback is welcome. I know they have a ton of NHL-ready D and the Blues D could use some... refreshing. I figured Salomonsson and picks for Buch, then Heinola to dump Schmidt.

The rest of our deadline assets - should we take the sellers route - are netting late round picks, but nitpicking is welcome ;)

This roster should land us in the bottom 10, great time to pick up a quality prospect, take some gambles with the extra picks (25-ish and 40-ish from the WPG trade) and keep building up.

Way off on Buch...for one, we dont need another winger but no one is paying that for him

Extreme overpay by Winnipeg for a left shot winger they don't really need.

The Jets have no reason to pay to dump Schmidt.

No chance the Jets move Salomonsson in this deal.

A first and two seconds (Salomonsson) seems pretty reasonable for Buchnevich to me…

Strongly dislike that return on Buchnevich. We'd be better off keeping him for the season and trying to extend him.
