2025 Fantasy Outlook
After posting 48 points in 41 games during his sophomore season with Denver, Buium made his NHL debut under unique circumstances: Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. He jumped right into a role on the third pair and quarterbacked Minnesota's top power play for four games before being scratched in the final two outings of the series. For the 2025-26 season, all signs point to him not only making the Wild but being an important piece of the team's top-four defensemen and power play. The 19-year-old will look to emulate Lane Hutson, who had six goals and 60 assists last year.. Buium has to earn the trust of the Wild brass first, but he has the offensive capabilities and high-caliber of offensive talent around him, where that kind of offensive season and being part of the Calder Trophy conversation doesn't seem too far-fetched.

Signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Wild in April of 2025.
Two points in team debut
Buium scored a power-play goal, recorded a power-play assist and placed two shots on net in Sunday's 2-1 win over New Jersey.
ANALYSIS
In the 20-year-old blueliner's debut with the Canucks, he recorded a power-play assist 1:01 into the contest. At 6:48 of the first period, he lit the lamp with a man advantage to double the lead for his new team. Between Minnesota and Vancouver, Buium is up to four goals, 12 assists, 33 shots on goal and 16 blocks through 32 games this season. His rookie campaign has seen its ups and downs, but it's an encouraging sign that his confidence hasn't wavered after being traded for Quinn Hughes on Friday. After Sunday's performance, Buium is likely set to take over Vancouver's quarterback role on the top power-play unit moving forward, giving him a shot to join this season's race for the Calder Trophy.
