Confirmed with Link: NYR sign Pavel Buchnevich [2 yrs, $3.25M AAV]

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

I wanted the Johnsson deal, but he probably wanted to bet on himself to do better in two years. Can’t blame him. Good deal. Glad to have him signed.

Lavoie saying 7 million over 2 seasons.

 

[Speedtrials]

Really like this kid, especially the way he responded to Quinn's tough love. He has had to go through a lot in what can be a tough city for any pro athlete. Let's see if he takes that next step now

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Interesting to me the Rangers didn't wait until Monday to finalize this to try and extend that buyout window as long as possible. I can only assume they have a feel for the trade market by now and know what they're going to do to clear space.

The buyout window doesn’t start now, it starts Monday regardless. It is 48 hours from when their last arbitration cases was scheduled for.

Want to see the Late February-March-early April Buchnevich all season in19-20

 

[NYRFAN218]

The buyout window doesn’t start now, it starts Monday regardless. It is 48 hours from when their last arbitration cases was scheduled for.

It's 3 days from when they settled or the award was handed out and lasts for 48 hours. So if they got a deal done before arbitration on Monday, they could have in theory pushed the final day of the window out until Saturday. Would have bought a few extra days to make moves if they needed it.

 

[nyr2k2]

He's even more attractive of a trade target now, if they want to go that route.

Honestly, that would make more sense; $3.25MM seems a touch low.

Either way, good deal and glad to have him in the fold.

Dan Rosen is also saying 3.25 so who knows. Just thought it was weird he had a different number.

 

[NYR Viper]

Interesting that Gorton signed Buch on a Friday night. I don’t believe the weekend days count towards the time limit for their buyout window. Gives more time to have the full picture in front of him

 

[Vitto79]

If he plays w Panarin and Zib he’s gonna cash in 2 yrs from now

Correct. The buyout window expires on Wednesday

Meh I would Gorton already has his moves lined up.

 

[pld459666]

Nice deal for player and team.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

About 250-500K over what I expected so not bad

Woulda liked something with more term but I can understand a bridge.

Trade Kreider or Namestnikov and lets get this thing going

Really?

You expected longer term and less money than this?

 

[Rangerfans]

A fair deal. This is his make or break season.

 

[Calad]

3.25 per very nice

3.5 per would still be good

cap will be resolved very easily with a Shattenkirk buyout or a Kreider/Namestnikov trade

 

[offdacrossbar]

soft euro

enigmatic russian

moody

otherwise, good deal

happy hes back

now get ADA done and move CK plus buy out/dump any dman with an S last name and lets start camp already.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

3-3.5 on a bridge has been the expectation.

This split the difference

 

[Chalfdiggity3]

We all knew from the reports that he only wanted a 2 year deal.. he is signed to a very nice bridge deal for himself. Which may be why some people mentioned that buch could be on the block after being signed. I'm sure the rangers wanted a long term deal with him so in my eyes, the rangers must be thinking that if he doesnt want to be here long term then find someone who will want to while giving more trade leverage to them by having buch for 2 more seasons

 

[Rempe73]

Amazing deal, even though I would have much preferred longer term (5x5). Still, a bridge made sense I guess. Curious to see if Gorton plans to go bridge or long term for ADA. If we didn’t already have so much money and term invested in d-men like Skjei, Shattenkirk, Smith, and Staal, I could see a 5 year deal for him. But if ADA were to bust on a long term deal, the value of our NHL defense would be the worst in the league.

I would hope we can still trade two of Shattenkirk, Namestnikov, Kreider, or Strome. Possibly together to get ok value back (like Kreider + Shattenkirk), or add a sweetener like Howden or Hajek to Shattenkirk and get back a 2nd/3rd. I don’t get how Zaitsev, Lucic, Clarkson, and Marleau can get traded, while apparently no one can take on Shattenkirk’s contract. Gorton must be asking for value back, while other GMs see it as a cap dump. There’s no other way.

 

[charliemurphy]

I can’t say I’m sold on Panarin and Zib staying on the same line long term.

 

[Kovalev27]

That’s the right deal for him. Hasn’t done enough to warrant a long term deal. I think he has two really good years.

 

[Tawnos]

Correct. The buyout window expires on Wednesday

I would think that if he’s right about weekend days, the buyout window would open on Tuesday and expire on Friday.

Granted, I’m not sure and can’t research right now. So if someone else wants to look into that.
