You’d hope this won’t happen, but the way players are entitled these days. Is it only a matter of time before Zeev want’s to play in the USA? Nothing you can do about the new trend, hopefully he turns into a top pair D and if that’s the case trade him for a boatload of assets like they did with Quit Hughes.
When Buium’s parents immigrated to the U.S. from Israel in 1999 they settle and still remain in San Diego, where Zeev was born, so being a West Coast kid might be favorable for the Canucks in terms of him wanting to remain in Vancouver. If he turns into something special and he wants to go back to the U.S. then just get a good return for him, I mean, the Canucks got an absolute haul for Quinn Hughes.

What do you guys think is going to happen with the Buium contract? If they were willing to give him big bucks and lock him down for 8 years, I think it would have been done by now. This is a tough one. Has he shown enough for that? Is it too risky to give him shorter term opening the door for a much bigger pay day and closer to UFA? Is it best to wait out the most of or all of the season to get a better idea?
He has a ton of skill and is only 20. His age is a valid excuse for and defensive flaws we’ve seen to a certain degree… then there was how bad the team was. He has lots of time to work on the D side of the game and things should be more stable moving forward.
What do you think is a fair contract for Zeev?
Considering this kid is only 20 years old, with miles of offensive upside and an ever-increasing salary cap, I’d get him signed in the 9.5 million range over eight years. Yeah he’s got some work to do on this game but if they have enough foresight to build a young team and let them grow together he’s a top priority!!
Depends 1st on what Buium wants. 3yr still a RFA or 5yrs going into UFA or 8yrs max term.
My guess is if Buium wants to be the leader like he was at DU he’ll sign 6yrs. Keep open the option for 1 last big pay day. If the Canucks cannot get 7 or 8yrs imo they do a 3yr bridge deal. That’ll cost them the next contract big time if Buium becomes a star.
3yrs 7m
6yrs 8.5m
8yrs 80m front end loadedWhat do you guys think is going to happen with the Buium contract?
