Sounds a lot like one Mikael Backlund a few years back. He turned out just fine.

If this stuff was the same injury like a knee or an ankle/foot, then yeah it would be a concern

He is dealing with bones and tendons, stuff that heals at the ripe old age of 26.

The guy has been through a lot, I agree but i just had a quick peek...he has played in 96% of all games the Flames have played since they drafted him. His durability nor his toughness should be questioned.

I understand he may be a trade piece as part of the core that needs a shake up, but unless its in a package for another C, it will only hurt this club.

Buchnevich is attractive as a RW for sure, but not at the expense of the teams 2nd line C. That simply doesnt make them better...it just fills a hole and opens up another gaping one.
