Keep Buchnevich. You need those guys in the playoffs. He doesn't rack up a ton a points...relatively speaking, but he's a grinder for sure.

For the sake of his NHL career he has pretty limited options. It's either NYR or SHL.

Ofc if he gets traded then it's a whole new question.

I don't see him ever playing for NYR again. Whether they move him in a hockey deal or not we will see

He's 21. He's playing on the first line for HV71.

No sense selling low. Let him develop and re-address next summer, or at the end of his current season. Hopefully it works out, because he's the exact type of player they will need in the future.

Lias Andersson for Jesse Puljujarvi. It's a natural.

I think he'll come back if he feels confident that they truly believe in him again.

To me, it felt like he kind of lost confidence in himself and needed something to lean on. Between making the roster out of camp, to barely getting any minutes, to being sent down, to all of his struggles while in Hartford, it felt to me not that he was just mad they sent him down but more that he felt like he was doing the right things and no one else saw it, and that can be mentally draining. Then the bad habits he built as a result of trying to be able to talk to his friends and family more, now he's back in Sweden, hockey is fun again, he's back to doing the things that got him drafted (a bit too) high. If he gets the impression he's going to get a legit shot on Broadway and that the staff believes in him and the way he plays, then I think he'd be willing to come back, but if he feels like they're going to bury him again, give a player like Brett Howden, who has been really truly awful, and the Rangers finally seem to be somewhat understanding of that later in the season, giving him less time and moving him to the wing, the leg up on him for whatever reason, then I hope he stays in Sweden.

Not if the Rangers are taking Lafreniere. That's Lafreniere, Kreider, Panarin, Chytil (W/C?), Buchnevich, Kakko, Kravtsov. Dont need another winger.

I love Buch, I just think he's the odd man out if Kravtsov pans out how we all hope he does (top 6 F).

He's having a great season over there so far. Makes me hope he's willing to come back to the NYR. We need centers!

I'm a big fan of Puljujarvi and I think he has a great future in the NHL if he's willing to come back, but like you said, we have wayyyy too many wingers.
