Another goal today against Finland, but no video available.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Sets up Eiserman for a goal.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Didn't realize that there was a game on Wednesday. He had 3+2. Here are two of the goals. I can't find the other one.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

2 goals tonight.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Nice assist to Humphreys.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

1+1 in a 3-2 loss.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Nice set-up for an assist.

[Pavel Buchnevich]

1+1 today. I don't know if he meant the assist on the second goal, but sick pass, if so. Overall, 16+23=39 points in 35 games. Crazy how he gets no discussion. He's over 1PPG, a two-way center, not small.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

1+1 today. He’s third on the team in points behind the big two with 41 in 37 games. Doesn’t ever play with Hagens and only sometimes he’s played with Eiserman. No clue how anyone has him ranked outside the first round at this point.

1+1 against Switzerland.

I agree. I think he’s in that 20-30 range. USNTDP isn’t nearly as exciting as last year or the year before imo, but I think they have some under appreciated players on that team.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I've liked his game a lot this year, like last year. He's the type of player where the way he plays makes it hard for him to not have an impact on every game and shift. Very high motor. Skates well. Wins puck battles. Gets to the net. Good defensive player. Probably the best defensive forward for the NTDP 18's. Plays in all situations. He's smart and understands where teammates are going to be for quick passing plays. Can make the occasional high-end skill play, and scores at a decent rate all season. I think he's virtually a certainty to stick at center too. Clear first round range, as I see it. He's a 2C in the NHL if it goes well. 4C if it doesn't, and 3C is somewhere in the middle.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

1+2 game.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Was on fire this weekend. 2+3=5 points in 2 games and 55% on faceoffs.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

1+2 last night.

Has a higher PPG his U18 season at the NTDP than players like Larkin, Beniers, Tkachuk, Bordeleau, Norris, Tuch.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

1+1 to end the USHL season.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

0+3 and 71% on face-offs against the country of his parents, Slovakia. Took 7 more face-offs than any of his teammates too.

Thought he had a very efficient game in all zones.

Who is more underrated Stiga or Bednarik?

Who is more underrated Stiga or Bednarik?

Stiga.

I always love when a player goes head to head against a higher ranked prospect and steals their lunch money. The way Stiga made Helenius his bitch at the U18s really pushed him up my board.

Stiga.

Stiga was good but still he was just a bitch for Iggy.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

NHL Network aired an interview with him from the combine.

Something that was brought up was that his father had a construction accident (sounded like 2-3 years ago), and was paralyzed from it. He said that his father is doing better, but uses a wheelchair nowadays.
