I'm not saying go for him, I'm saying he's worth much more than Buch. And tbh, the kids 24 and signed for 8 years, if you want to give up future assets that's the type of guy to go for, a cost-controlled young all-star. Not Guentzel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way I listen to @Alflives is if he shows us real life pics of the empties. Until then, it's fake news. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwarrior Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 I don't believe a word that eklund says. And even if they were trying to trade Pavel, the price tag would be high. And I look at Boston last season, the went out and fucked up their team chemistry, and I'm sure none of us want that. So if you add, add depth pieces. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain insano Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 My take on buechnevich is he plays a similar game as mikheyev but has a more talented touch, even tho this is eklund and has a negative chance of it being true, I believe buchnevich would fit a line with suter and mikheyev as one of the leagues best shut down lines, they would be able to skate with anyone and elite defensive hockey, great for a team that doesn’t have to play catch-up very often and when they do have to easy enough to mix and match to get more offence spread out 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we have an elite shutdown line then that puts less pressure on the Lotto Line to perform. And it also allows our 3rd line to have less defensive responsibilites. Buchnevich or Eriksson Ek would fit the bill on the 2nd line to complement Mikheyev and Suter. We can then give more time for Lekkerimaki to develop and not rush him into the lineup... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, would give us the flexibility of doing a shut down line with the Lotto intact or adding more talent to Petey's wing if split (or replacing PDG with Miller and Boeser). 2 lineup potentials assuming Kuz is part of the package to get Buchnevich due to salary needing to leave to bring his cap in. Petey Miller Boeser Joshua Bluegar Garland Mikheyev Suter Buchnevich Hoglander Aman (or ideally replaced for a cheap 2 way vet) Lafferty or Hoglander Miller Boeser Mikheyev Petey Buchnevich Joshua Bluegar Garland Karlsson/Bains/Pod Suter Lafferty 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Blueger comes back in those scenarios though. Cap will be tight... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guentzel I think would cost way too much to acquire, might even cripple our organizational depth. Don't think that's worth it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but even on CDC Eklund had a reputation for being especially bad. Eklund, and the whole E5 bit, are cultural jokes at this point.
