Golden Knights Trade Candidate Report: Pavel Buchnevich

3. The Trade Proposal for Pavel Buchnevich

If the Vegas Golden Knights are looking to acquire Pavel Buchnevich, there's probably going to be a higher pick involved. What could be proposed is a second-round pick for the Russian. Given his lofty contract, some salary must be retained on the Blues behalf, although that might be a tough ask considering they're tight on cap space.

There hasn't been much to show the St. Louis Blues are willing to part with Buchnevich. After all, the 28-year-old does have a modified no-trade clause. Still, it might be worth calling up your old business partner if you're the Vegas Golden Knights. Desperate times call for desperate measures, with the chances of a Golden Knights repeat rapidly dwindling. McCrimmon would need to make a move before it's too late.
