Player Discussion Pavel Buchnevich: Part VI

[Irishguy42]

I thought it was

Buchnevich is a True American Family Man

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Remember when you guys wanted him off the team after 4 games?

yeah, and you wanted Strome off the team after 2. How's that working out?

 

[Machinehead]

I still want Strome off the team over paying him based on a stretch where he's shooting over 20%. That hasn't changed.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I still want Strome off the team over paying him based on a stretch where he's shooting over 20%. That hasn't changed.

He'd have 18 points in 21 games if he shot his career average. f***ing bum.

 

[Machinehead]

He'd have 18 points in 21 games if he shot his career average. ****ing bum.

He's been good for us this year as I've said many times, but we've seen the "giving out contracts when the analytics tell you not to" movie a billion and one times now. It never has a different ending.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

He'd have 18 points in 21 games if he shot his career average. ****ing bum.

But the stat you mentioned is not really significant. You'd think he had 15 goals or something.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

That stretch has been over a year. He's been very productive since he's been a Ranger and has stepped up since Mika has been out. The guy has obvious talent and is only 26. I would love to sign him for another year or 2.

The problem is he isn’t going to be looking for a 1-2 year contract. He’ll point to what he’s done since he came to NY and shoot for a 4-5 year deal which I’m not even remotely comfortable giving him, considering he’s playing so well in a contract year. Give him term and there’s every chance he becomes a complacent floater, based off his career. He may be putting up points and playing well for us but he is by no means a guy I’d build around.

I never said he was a guy to build around. I just stated that he has been great for this team since we acquired him. I find it amusing how some posters just love to trash this guy and all he does is produce.

I didn’t trash him I was just responding to you saying you’d sign him for another year or two. If he was looking for a 1-2 year deal I’d be fine with offering him a contract but because I find it highly unlikely he gets less than 4 years I’d rather sell high on him. He does produce but there are aspects of his game that leave something to be desired as well. Fine with him as a stop gap, don’t want to give him term and security.

I wasn't referring to you when I said some posters trash him. I respect your opinion about signing him long term. Hopefully GMJG makes the right decisions on players like Buch, Krieder, Strome, ADA, and Lemieux.

 

[Doctyl]

Strome is a perfect sell high guy. Do not pay him.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Buchenvich is having a really nice season. I think we're going to regret not locking both he and ADA up long-term this off-season.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Strome is a perfect sell high guy. Do not pay him.

I'd agree if we had more center prospects.

 

[Irishguy42]

[GoAwayGiannone]

Too ugly to be on the Rangers, we have a reputation to uphold. Hard Pass.

Have you seen Chytil?

 

[Doctyl]

I'd agree if we had more center prospects.

If he paces for like 60 points this year, we should absolutely not pay him like a 60 point player

 

[True Blue]

What does that have to do with his 15 assists in 21 games?

 

[True Blue]

That ship sailed the day they traded for Trouba and signed Panarin.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

What does that have to do with his 15 assists in 21 games?

Yeah MH is off here. He'd have 18 points instead of 21 in 21 games if he shot his career average.

 

[Raspewtin]

This isn't the Strome thread but I have serious questions on his ability to maintain his pace without Panarin. And he doesn't do nearly enough away from the puck to make up for it.

 

[True Blue]

Yeah, should probably move it to his thread. But will say that Strome was putting up points last year and this year before being placed on Panarin's line.

 

[JimmyG89]

But, by the same token, I've always been a fan, and I LOVE the shots of Panarin literally "taking him under his wing" on the bench in games. There's continued upside there to be mined.

This could be a small thing, but Panarin is someone to relate to. Yes, we had Namestnikov, but he's much more of an American player than a Russian player. Panarin is someone that can help him, in his native language, with the NHL game.

Yes, the work ethic and physicality are much higher that in years past, but don't forget he's still a young player, just not for this team. Have to think he can go to Panarin and they can talk things through and little things that he can do and see to make him better.

 

[JohnC]

This isn't the Strome thread but I have serious questions on his ability to maintain his pace without Panarin. And he doesn't do nearly enough away from the puck to make up for it.

Seriously.

With what this fanbase has seen you'd think it wouldn't be the unpopular stance to expect buyer's remorse on a possible extension.
