I know it’s very early and the schedule has been an issue but.......
I’m not sure who Buchnevich is, or what type of player he will eventually become, but I’m not convinced he’s a top six player.
The 1st line would be much better served with a power forward, good in the corners, RH shot. They don’t grow on trees, but they have the assets to be in position to make a deal for this type player should the occasion arise.
Absent that, moving Kakko up seems to be in the works, issue becomes, does Buch accept the demotion, or does he sulk, and become a problem for Quinn. I suspect he would.
I have no issue with Quinn experimenting with defense combinations. Finding the right mix takes time. Brookise made an issue out of Trouba not matching up against McDavid, I don’t see a problem yet.
Bring up Chytil stick him in the 2nd line center spot, leave him there for 10 games, let’s see what’s he got. Strome can move down to 3rd line center, haven’t see enough from Howden or Anderson to feel overly positive about either at this point.
If Krastov is another enigmatic Russian, who feels he just needs to throw his stick out there and he has a spot, let him go back to the KHL.

If they are likely out of it at the TDL I can see them moving Hall. Otherwise he would be a player worth holding on to unless negotiations don't go well. - Fenrir
If I was the Devs I push yo resign no matter what. This team should be good with a window that’s just opening |

Buch was a third round pick, I’m not sure why people try to keep making him into a Star. Really people should be estatic if he becomes a 50 pt player |

I always saw Buch as a 3rd liner with the skillset to step up when needed. Sure he played a few elite games last season, but I haven't changed my mind.
I would trade him and Kreids at the TDL. 'Hopefully' we're out of it by then... |

Definitely a team on the upswing, and Hall should be a priority to keep. Good mentor for Nico and Hughes. |

I agree with that, but, I think it's only natural to wonder what Kakko could do there instead |

Literally made the playoffs the last time he played a full year. Plus, that experience of going through rough times might benefit the youngsters on his not to get too down. |

Here is my view on Buch. 1st line talent when he is engaged and not pouting. He has yet to work hard for a full season though. Jury is still out. I would flip Kakko and Buch. Kakko would fit perfect with Zib and Panarin because he has no issue going to the net. And Buch would be with Kreids who goes to the net. Seems more balanced that way. |

I’d still give it a month or so. That would make our team even more top heavy. Kakko for sure is going on line 1 by seasons end |

I also think it's just a matter of time before Chytil's back, he doesn't belong in Hartford |

He's got to lead by example with his play despite being on two crappy teams by no fault of his own. Devils might be able to entice him to stay with the kids they've had the good luck to draft. |

Give the lines a chance to gel during game situations rather than practice to see what we have once they get into the swing of a regular schedule. |

Kreider and Buch have more chemistry too. I would give Kreider-Chytill-Buch a chance at some point |

Yup, Buch is more a playmaker when he is on. He seems like he would fit with Kreids. |

I just don't see the balance. You have 2 power forwards with Strome, who isn't the optimal solution for center and then you have a ton of play making talent on the 1st line. You switch Kakko and Buch, now you have a power forward on each line and at least Buch brings playmaking to the the Kreider/Strome line |

said from the moment lines were drawn in the sand NOT poured & hardened concreteK K K aint playing with strome much more , Buchny aint a top 3 maybe not a top 6
BUt can be solid & productive , JUST use a short leash for him & Krastov & Chtyl...
we need answers not conjecture on its in there but how to get it out ...
top line : KK Z bad & Panarin is gonna be a true top line,keeping pressure low , just letting all find there slots
Strome is gonna make a perfect 3rd line center
Howdie doddie & Lias the kid will share 4th line duties till one rises up & takes it
NEED a 2 c ,so obvious & glaring
Kreids ,usual game,need to trade him in the pkg for a 2 c...
Dallas must be fed up :
how can we give krieds + lias or howdie + top D prospect ( I D K u pickem)+ #1 next yr for ...Seguin ? |
