Hindsight is 20/20 but man our top six would’ve been unstoppable if we had kept Captain Happy

It’s setting up to be one of the biggest what if’s in Recent Rangers history. Imagine if we keep Buch and spend all of those assets we burned to try and bring in a RW1 on other needs. We probably have a cup by this point.

Besides Trochek, Drury seems like a pretty bad GM

On paper, I get that Buch would be the missing 1RW we all need.
I still feel the ultimate reason that he got shipped out was the car accident with him and Igor that caused Igor to miss significant time. Also why I can’t imagine ownership would allow him back even through a favorable trade.

Likely never get Laf if we keep buch. Trade grading wise though that was an F.

When is this sub going to get over this?
HereticsSpork
People need to move past this already.
Also, the return we got always seemed like the sort of return you get when a player asks to be traded so there is a very real possibility that Buch didn’t want to be here.

He just got extended 8 years, 64 million by the blues

Who is to say that he becomes the player his is now without being on STL?
NYR has a fairly strong history these days of trading away folks who break out elsewhere.

Also this sub “our 23 year old, high possession, high upside, dirt cheap rw needs to be traded for a 6th round pick or the GM sucks”

Drury with the worst trade since Zubov and it’s not particularly close
And no, there was no justification for it, be it cap or any of that baloney. You could’ve kept him as your own rental that final contract year and still extended him instead of signing Goodrow/Nemeth/Reaves/Blais
You would’ve had 2 more years of Buch under contract before tough decisions would’ve had to be made due to some cap constraints. And know what tough decisions those would’ve been? Whether to keep Trouba or Lindgren…

Drury sure did a great job by drafting a kid from the AHL who’s “meh”, and Grouix whom has 5 points in 65 GAMES. WATER WE DUNE HAIR, DREW REE?!
