Buch should play in the middle6 and on pp1. No way you want him on the top line before he's ready for it. Skjei is a top talent for sure, but Buch is possibly a bigger imo...

biggest questions about Buch are is he gonna add some strength, be in better shape and are his back issues going to linger

Don't worry. He's in top shape now!

You're dead for me now

we all know the top 9 for NYR plays relatively close minutes when compared with each other so lets not get hung up on some line chart

I have it on good authority Buch was killing it in workout sessions this summer.

but we're at 48
- jimbro83

Right, so we could make it work.

Bozak and ECHL contract for Holden + another player. We'll end up with 48 still and Tronna will have 49 still.

Of course I'm saying this with tongue in cheek, but Zuke will probably average 18-19 mins - and he's not getting that on a 3rd line.

we don't wanna get capped out of contracts either, especially with August 15th coming and some additional college free agents available

Whereas Zuke has just been housing cookies at his summer home all offseason-long

We don't, but if it's 2 contracts for 2 contracts we end up with the same number of contracts we have now

NHL.com ranked Talbot as a better goalie than Lundqvist

Talbot wasn't to be making 1 million a year forever, no way we could have given him over 4 mil a year

Nah I'm sure if they asked him really nicely he would have stayed for $1.5M and agreed to play 25-30 games per year

How bout Bozak & JVR for Staal & sum of our top prospects ...or 1 top prospect
and 1 top draft pick.... it fits cap anyway

Av's missing on getting back Holden & sum top D talent for "new" Dukey
they have like 3 D men signed with experience...

Tanner is on some "Ovie is evil and the Olympics are the devil" rant on another thread. If I had noticed that he wrote it I wouldn't have read it. Dude is way too fired up about Ovie wanting to play in the Olympics

I tell you, If I was a Caps fan, a team that hasn't made it past the 2nd round since Ovi joined the team, a team paying Ovi 9.5 mil a year, it would really really really really REALLY get under my skin how pre-occupied he is with the Olympics

Don't forget the Rangers have Ben Prentiss as their strength and conditioning consultant... Buch doesn't have a choice, and you know the organization targeted him as someone for Ben to work with. Some people here may know who Ben is, I bet a lot have no clue who he is in the hockey world

Right here, fourth from the bottom:
