Thread: What is Buchnevichs Trade Value
if buch has a similar season that he had in the past and hypothetically his stats are around 20 goals and around 55-60 points. he'll be in for a nice raise. btwn 5-6 million. it doesn't make sense for the rangers to re-sign him with our depth at RW.

i would think buch's value is highest right now because of his low cap hit. i honestly thought the team was going to trade him during the off-season but that doesn't look like the case anymore. if they would to trade him now i would think at least what Kapanen brought back. even though Kapanen has an addition season with a long cap hit buch is a much better player.

i now think the rangers aren't going to be sellers at the tdl. neither do i think they will be buyers. the team still aren't contenders but they are good enough to compete for a playoff spot. so when they do trade buch it'll be at the draft next season. unless the rangers are able to get a 2c from now until than and he is included in the deal, which looks unlikely. buch's value won't be nearly as good than. i'm thinking a 2nd and a subpar nhl player on a elc or low cap hit.

Thread: LIAS ANDERSSON TO KINGS FOR 60th PICK
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Stanley_Cup_To_Manhattan</b></div><div>He's absolutely not. Lias Andersson was a reach pick. He has had several occurrences where he's shown attitude issues. Throwing medal? Requesting a trade? abandoning his team?

Lias has little offensive upside. He's not a dynamic scorer. If he has talented wingers on his side he might produce. Not to mention his foot speed isn't NHL level. Thank goodness Lias Andersson's father is in the LA Kings department because he'd rot in Sweden and we wouldn't have gotten Cuylle.</div></div>

the nhl game is to fast for him. he'll be a very good shl player for the next 10-12 years. he'll make plenty of money in europe. i don't see a nhl career for him. rangers made the right move. if they would have held on to him he would be worth nothing.
