Pavel Buchnevich
Drury and Laviolette Must Go
Could be either. I'd be shocked if he's any worse than a solid average starter, but there's star potential there. He's a consensus top 3 goalie prospect not in the NHL, maybe #1 depending on which of the three Russian IS's you personally prefer. He's already an NHL caliber player as a goalie at age 21. He was the best goalie in the 2nd best league in the world last season. Probably could be a good NHL back up this season, maybe better. He would've been called up like mid-season because of great performance, if this was in the AHL. KHL contracts are annoying, but they have a lot of elite talents in that league, can't just ignore them because of the contracts, gotta wait it out with those players from that league.
