Pavel Buchnevich
"Pavel Buchnevich The Fake"
I think he was the best American prospect on the U17 5-Nations team. He's very good defensively. Always on the right side of the puck, but he also has real high level offensive skills. Skates well, powerful, good acceleration, pivots well. He has good puck skills. Can go around players with his skill. More of a shooter than passer, but not a bad passer either. He also is already listed at 6'0. Similar style to a Patrice Bergeron.
I don't understand why he wasn't picked for the NTDP roster, but I also haven't watched those players yet. He's good though. I wouldn't be surprised if he's a first round pick in 2024.
