Holy cow! I did not realize that he signed you to a long-term contract.
I tip my hat to this humor. Well-played.

If anyone should be singled out as a whipping boy, it should be Schenn, not Buch. Schenn made a good assist last night, but he's hurt this team far worse this season than Buch.

Since '19-'20 Buch is 12th in the NHL in LW Points are we really saying Buch is the issue here?

Trading for Buch was not a bad move at all. It was extending him rather than flipping him that was the major error.

Not sure you go 6 years to fill an immediate void.

Count me in the unhappy column on that contract but I do see his value as well as his faults and I'll pull for the value as his contract unfolds in the years ahead but I am not optimistic about that term at all.

Exactly. So much hand-wringing, crying and hyperbole. And speculation/day-dreaming of what moves posters wanted to be made — after the fact.

These threads will evaporate when Blues put up a winning streak.

Until someone else takes over the mantle, I'm not going to complain about his play. He's been the best 2 way forward since the Blues acquired him. If he's a 60 point a season guy he''s well worth the contract he is getting. If he goes over 70 or 80 and is a PPG guy, we got a bargain. I'll reserve judgement for the Best forward on the roster until one of the younger guys who is supposed to be that guy steps up and shows they are leading that pace day in and day out.

Well I won't and never do listen to the agenda clown.

But I do not like the term on his contract, I do question how it ages.....that's my main point.
