Confirmed with Link: Buchnevich to Blues

[Mike Liut]

How are you guys enjoying Buch so far? Blais has been balling for the Rangers and I am starting to think hat this may be a good move for both teams (Blais really brings something we lacked). Hope you guys love Buch as much as we did.

sammy is a fine bottom 6 player, but he is nowhere near the caliber of player that Buch is. We have literally a half dozen Sammy Blais in our system.

MacMac can do what Blais does, but with better skating.

Yep, he was one of the half dozen I was referring to.

Mac Mac doesn't have Blais skill or hands. The guy who really needs to be Blas 2.0 is Kostin.

Hopefully, he will be Blais 2.0 and more ... minus the injuries.

That’s fair, but MacMac can also score. May not be as pretty, but he has shown that he can score in limited TOI.

It's a perfect trade in that Buchnevich gives our offense a needed boost. Blais is good bottom 6 who adds to NYR's goal of being a more physical team.

However we're stuck waiting until Saturday to really start enjoying the trade

Hey guys, haven’t caught any Blues games yet but was interested to hear whether Buchnevich had been playing mostly on the right wing so far? Suspension aside, how has he looked?

looked pretty good in his 4 periods.

Yeah he’s on the right side with Schenn and Kyrou.

Kyrou - Buch has found chemistry. They clicked right away. Kyrou will produce his best season. I assume it will be ~ 65points so Buch will scoring a lot of. Leathal duo.

Sure, Buch is a higher end offensive player but I find it funny that a Rangers fan dare say that the trade is win win and the response is defensive because God forbid you guys didn't rob us blind.

I mean, we did still rob you. A couple assists from Blais doesn’t change anything. We all know what he is.

If you don’t want to read a Blues fan’s comments on the trade then don’t come to this board lol. Nobody is forcing you.

Sorry, but it was a heist.

Two assists and five minor penalties in four games. He’s had a couple of nice highlights, but he’s more likely to continue to take penalties and have his scoring dry up than the other way around.

I haven;t been paying attention to the hockey news for the last few days (I've been too busy posting on wrong threads!) . How many games was Buchnevich's suspension? Will he play tonight vs. The Kings?

Well, I'm glad to hear he's still nasty.

I was reading some of the above comments because somebody liked an old post of mine, and I really hope this doesn't turn into a thing. I wish nothing but success for Buch.

I love Sammy Blais. I can't shut up about it. I tell random people waiting for the train that I love Sammy Blais. I'm considering going door to door.

If everyone's happy, then not every trade has to be a contest over who "won."

I hope I stay happy and I sincerely hope y'all end up happy, and that's that.

 

[Mike Liut]

Looking forward to seeing Buch back in the lineup tomorrow night.

There's a Jeremy Rutherford article from a couple years ago on The Athletic that tells the story of when he was drafted. If you're a fan, its worth the effort to track it down.

That it true, though many people will always look towards the numbers to prove a point whether or not the team won the trade. Everyone here loved Blais because he plays a hard game and has some budding offensive potential. I've been watching him since he was drafted and his progression has been one that is really impressive. I don't know if he will ever score 40 points, but he will be a fan favorite even with some of the penalties he takes. If the Rangers win and Blais is part of that team, then no one will care about the trade between Buch and Blais.
