Canes have had their top goalie out for awhile again this year, and goaltending problems down the line. They play a structured style, so this is 100% on the goaltending. I would consider this not necessarily being Svech's fault and he may have been on the ice during some of these bad goals. 

Svech is a tiger, but my memory seems to think he's been hurt the last couple of years. I really like him as a player, but if I'm trading Boldy, I've got to have a Tkachuk. Svech is at that age where nagging injuries can keep coming. Boldy isn't at that age. I do see availability as an ability.

they are only a year apart 🙂  but i do agree with injury history. but that's life of a hockey player. he'll be back to being a target soon enough. 

tkachuk at this point is just a dream. but svech....maybe boldy and kampulainen (for the finnish touch) can get it done?

I just can't bring myself to dumping Boldy yet for Svech. I see so much potential in Boldy that I think he can be better. I like the grinding part of Svech's game better, but I think Boldy's got it in him to do something similar. So, health + potential for me would mean stay the course. For instance, Svech has only hit 30 goals once. The main culprit? Games played.

right, but that may be a bad luck streak. he is making his way back now and his trajectory may be into superstardom should he remain healthy. 

also him and kap = bond (more so than him and boldy i would think....and he can step in and console kap after zuccy leaves....and then we get - yurov/svech/kap as a line - has there ever been such a dynamo line of russian players? all on one line that is)

They could be wrong, but I haven't seen a single person affiliated with them discuss trading Tuch.

A big part of context that people don't seem to get with Tuch: He's a Western NY native who actually wants to be in Buffalo, which has a lot of value for them.
