I think one of the best forms of entertainment is knowing a bad trade happened and reading replies leading up to the breaking news. Flyers blog starts going nuts at ~1:45 and i'm dying at the comments...

one of the comments were "Gonna post for the first time in 2 years to say this is the worst trade i have ever seen in the league" hahahahaha

Heres to hoping the penguins will be better tomorrow than they were today. Interested to see if we can shed pett's contract and maybe bring in a goalie and forward. Im sure we will probably some a knuckle dragger that RW will write about tomorrow.

I guess the Pens got better by virtue of Philly's downgrading. One less team to compete for the wild card spot.

Oh they do lol

Someone was arguing that since they traded the 13 pick for a guy who was the 8 pick, they won the trade lol can’t make this stuff up

Rags traded Buchnevic to Blues for Blais and a 2nd

Seems like a pretty low return for the quality of player Buch is. Rags probably knew they werent going to have the money to re-sign him.

I feel like the rags org never really liked him to begin with. They needed a real top 6 center out of him.

I still think their most likely for Eichel

God damn, how you gonna trade away a top line winger for a middle 6 winger in Goodrow? Rough.

I think that traded helped them bank another future for an Eichel trade.

Why wouldn’t they just offer Buch though? He’s not old

Yo Wilson why don't you just go watch the ice capades you f---ing loser!

And he's a legit 1st line winger.

Who is this clown? It's one of you idiots that made an alt just to be a retard, right? This can't be a real human that just comments 1 time on every blog to berate RW who doesn't even give a poop lol

He’s 26 entering his prime. That doesn’t make much sense for a rebuild IMO. He’ll be 30 before they’re a playoff team.

I see the Rangers challenging for a WC spot within a year or 2.

Edit: well, did with Buch on the team lol

Wouldn't you want Eichel to play with a stud winger?! Panarin-Eichel-Buch?

I was reading they have a bunch of big raises coming next year , Zib Fox Strome Shesterkin Kakko followed the next year by Miller

Sure, who wouldn't, but after the season Buch just had I'd say that would not be financially possible.

Precisely. Maybe not Kakko, but those others will all start pushing the Rangers to being a cap team.

I don't think trading a cost controlled - RFA top line winger is ever the answer. This is just bad asset management. Buch > Goodrow and it's not even close.
