Two goals, one assist, and five shots for Buch tonight. That's how you handle an assignment
Call him back up and hopefully that sparked some confidence for him

Time to call him up. Let him ride this confidence wave. Fast is out. Juggle the lines and try to ignite some offense.
Kreider Zibanejad Buchnevich
Nash Stepan Zuccarello
Vesey Hayes Miller
Grabner Lindberg Puempel
Pirri in for Grabs if he can't go tomorrow.
How has Buch been this year, and how do you see him utilized for rest of the season? What do you see his peak at?
If we're lucky he peaks as a 60-70 point forward. He's been very good this year, but AV has him on a ridiculously tight leash and keeps pushing him to the fourth line.
I read in another thread here that AV kind of did the same with Kreider etc at some point too?
Looking on dobberhockey, Buch has played a lot with Zibanejad/Nash, but also a lot with Pirri/Fast at ES.
Yes AV has done this with Miller, Kreider to some extent, Hayes, etc
He's fine at bringing along young players but people get mad when they players aren't immediately given all the minutes
he should be playing with us and given the same leash that Vesey has.. but you know AV is a moron

Totally fair for everyone to be mad then since Miller and Kreider were never able to take the next step and can't get out of the AHL now
Oh wait, no. It clearly had a positive impact on their development as they are now key players on our team.

Vesey seems to have a longer leash than Buchnevich, which many consider unwarranted.I read in another thread here that AV kind of did the same with Kreider etc at some point too?

Totally legitimate for people to wonder why a guy like Pirri is still getting any ice time over a player that could benefit much more from it in Buch. Pirri's biggest asset - and only, it seems - is his shot. He has 8 goals on the season, 4 of which were scored in the first 2 weeks of the season across 7 games. From October 28 to present, he has 4 goals. That's 4 goals in 45 games (along with 8 more assists outside of those first 2 weeks) from a guy who's only good at shooting and nearly nothing else. That's with Pirri being forcefed PP time, with which he does nothing while playing with guys like Kreider/Zuke. I would much rather have Buch back in.
I don't disagree, I would be playing him over Pirri every night but I'm not going to get upset that he's been scratched a couple times. I'll trust the coach, it's not like hes been stuck in the press box the entire season.
We've got a few guys banged up so he's probably going to play now.

Obviously Buchnevich missed a lot of time, but you can still see the discrepancy (Vesey being cyan, and Buchnevich blue):
Hah I know, but there's really not a much better way to do it, at least for this chart.Oy vey, my eyes are bleeding. This is my problem with some of these charts. Part of the art of the chart (how about that for rhyming?) is readability.
Buch should be up but anyone thinking Vesey wouldn't be doing the same thing in the AHL is deluded
