Description

These are not full packages or trade proposals. They're a list of things that could interest the Blues in a deal for Buch, retained or not. And yes, I'm fully aware a handful of these guys wouldn't be considered as Buch bait. Not really relevant... this is what the Blues would want, not what they think you'd give up willingly. I did leave another handful of young Dmen off the list, but a few real peaches made the cut. Because I said so.

I definitely could have included other teams, but skipped them for various reasons. If you want your team added to the list, just holler and I'll add them. Maybe. Depends on the team.

He'd be able to sign an extension this offseason, and if traded in the offseason, I can see it coming with an extension attached already. That will drive that price up anyway

Gotta give up quality to get quality. And Blues want quality pieces in return

They’ll get a good return if they move Buch but it won’t include a prospect like Willander

Don't see the red Wings having interest in Buch. He doesn't fit our timeline. He's going to want a big extension that we likely can't afford. We also have other pressing needs to address this offseason.

Sometimes, man, you ask for something they shouldn't trade and they actually say yes. Far stranger things have happened, and I also never said there couldn't be add-ons to make weight.
