Now we don’t know if Sammy Blais (who was part of the Buchnevich deal) was a throw in or if the Rangers really wanted him. If the latter, probably a hard deal for Treliving to consummate as I don’t know if we have a blais comparable in our system. Is Monahan a better fit in Sutter’s system than Buchnevich? Probably. But would this deal have shaken up the core? Without a doubt. And that’s what most of us were looking for.

I think it’s pretty clear that Blais was targeted by the Rangers. He isn’t a prospect. After the whole Tom Wilson fiasco look who they went out and grabbed (and paid significant prices to do it):
Patrick Nemeth
Jarred Tinordi
Sammy Blais
Barclays Goodrow
Ryan Reaves
Whole lot of truculence on that list
