<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BDHockey</b></div><div>The trades aren't actually trades. They would let Binners contract expire. If he were willing to take a paycut and stay then that would be awesome. As for Buch I think he could still be a fringe top line/second line player at age 33. I just did this to balance lines. We should either trade him this season or give him a similar if not slightly less expensive deal than Kyrou and Thomas.

The key is set a precendent with how you give out contracts, so that hopefully people like Dvorsky and Snuggerud take similar contracts to Thomas and Kyrou. That would be a very team-friendly situation.</div></div>

Yeah I gotcha, it’s just so hard to imagine Binner in another jersey. Buch has also always been a great 2 way winger and even after players like him age, they usually don’t loose that defensive edge to his game and that could be valuable, ecspecially while developing the snugs and dvorsky. Hopefully he could have an impact on how our younger guys play.

Thread: STL in on chychrun
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AC14</b></div><div>Are we sure Chychrun is a top pairing defenseman? I have no doubt he's an upgrade over Krug. But we still hold the financial committment to Krug in this scenario and are assuming the risk that Chychrun's past in regards to being only on teams with god awful defense isn't any result of himself as well. That paired with the injury history it's hard not to hold a bit of concern in regards to acquiring him when we're in the situation we are in. If we were a bonafide competitive team i would say by all means yes.</div></div>

I would say he’s at least better than any other LD we got on the roster by a considerable margin, he’s putting up points on a horrible sens team and is only 25. He has great underlying numbers and can break the puck out of the zone incredibly well, which not many D can do for us this year. Only issue is he can be injury prone, but has been relatively healthy the last 2 years.
