Buchy would be a nice addition. I was actually watching the blues last night and thinking about how we don’t have any Russians, which is odd.
He would be a very nice top 6 forward.

Tuch/Tage/Buch
JJ/Mitts/Buch
Quinn/Cozens/Buch

I wound also put him on the first unit PP over Skinner

Is Buch playing 50 minutes a night

He sucks on the Dot, doesn't hit for a big boy. I wouldn't spend that on him. But he would fit right in with the Purse Carrying Crowd on the Sabres.
- Buff36

he would be a decent third liner if icing a team to compete for a cup, but we are not there

smells like a trade to tampa with a lengthy extension in the near future

That would be my choice too. His style would complement those 2 nicely

Agreed. He plays the perfect game, reminds me of a Tuch 2.0.

Sure, and I hope he brings that here with him. Also seen it go the other way, really good at WJ and then disappoints. Still think Kulich or Savoie are there best prospects, but that's because there playing here already.

Whats up with him and Rosen?

On a SLUMP

kulich is hurt

sell tuch and casey at the deadline

get 2 top 4 rd's in return

try again in the fall and hope from your 1,254 prospects, 2 can replace tuch and casey

Yes for your 3rd line, I don't want to pay a 4LW 4.5mill

To bad Parayko is 30 and costs 6.5m.

Would love to add him if we were to trade for Buch.

Then you get assets for them at the TDL and keep it moving. Quinn, Benny and Peterka should be ready for bigger roles by then. I want to win and Butchy helps us do that.

He is owed actually 8mill in Salary for th next 2yrs and then it drops bellow his actual Cap hit into the high 4 mill range the last 2 years.

Every single team in the league averages height between 6'0 and 6'2. In fact, every single team except for the Wild are either 6'1 or 6'2.

I think the quickest path to consistent winning is to get those other 2 d men for the top 4

we were able to score last year and still fell shy


the goal needs to be how to become a top 4 team in the east quickly and IMO a d man to play with dahlin and a d man to play with power gets us there quicker

piss away dahlin and power then and extend joker and bring back erik johnson

- homiedclown

so by not trading an objectively strong player, we're "pissing away Dahlin and Power" and extending joker and erik johnson?

what is this mess of a sentence

Soooooo....it's been awhile.... how's it going?

Is Erik Johnson worth kicking tires on a trade?

A coach that gets his team to back check would be start.

Getting players will do nothing unless the coach gets harder on his team.
