Here’s my take on Buium.
New Jersey passed on him. So did SJ. Philadelphia traded the pick that could have landed him. You can also add the Flames and the handful of teams that picked before them.
One thing I think worth taking into consideration is Buium is represented by the same agent as Cutter Gauthier. I’d bet the way he ghosted the Philadelphia Flyers is a warning sign to other GM’s around the league about how this particular agent is willing to go about his business. Buium is probably seen as a flight risk to most teams.
Th Flames made the right pick. No question.
