Truthfully, I don't see hardly any of a need for any of those pieces in a Buch return.

Completely understand the rationale. But unless we'd somehow move out Krug without retaining any salary, I don't see how or why we'd want to add Samuelsson. Not a bad player by any means, but he's more of what we have and would probably slot below Leddy anyways.

Really don't see a need for Rosen. Good prospect, doesn't fit a need though.

Could almost see it as more of a benefit if Rosen and Samuelsson played opposite positions. Middle 6 forward and a top 4 D prospect versus a 2nd pair defenseman and top 6 forward prospect.

We’re not trading Karlsson. 41 goals in last 90 games. One of the best 2 way centers in hockey and still locked up for another 3 years (our “cup window”)

I think Buch to BUF makes sense. I recommended Buch for Johnson and Savoie but people didn't like it. The Blues would want a high end defenseman prospect and a center I think.
