Description

Some BUF fans have said they would like to have Buch on the top line. This is a trade that gives the Blues two young players which fit into nicely onto the roster. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Assuming Snuggerud doesn't change his mind and Dvorsky needs another year to prepare.

The Blues will also need to sign a depth forward. I'm still not sure what to do with Krug.

If that extension is like 6.5M*6 years, then yes.

I think a return for Buch from BUF would look more like Rosen and a 1st with a + or - depending on the extension.

I think you’ll get pretty much the same response from the Sabres in real life that you’re seeing from the fans here
It all depends on the extension we’d need him to sign

My guess is that it’s gonna be more than the Sabres would want
After all, we just traded Mittelstadt for a defenseman bc we wanted to dedicate that Cap Space to defense & not forward

Buchnevich is a good player though, so it’s possible
Just very unlikely in real life imo
