Here are the highlights of Buchnevich today.
Yes, thats right, 0 playing time, not a single shift, doesn't even get on the score sheet because he didn't enter the game.
Meant to add this tweet, and I forgot to.
So I caught the late 2nd period on today. No shifts like you all have seen. But here's the thing guys and let me know what you think. The world championships are held in St Petersburg in May. He's on SKA, which is in St Petersburg. He's supposedly not good enough to Zubov or SKA that there's 12 forwards alone on SKA that are worthy of playing over him. So all of this WC talk about him being on the roster I can't see how he'd play there either. I can't see him sitting game 2 and not getting any action. Can't risk going down 2-0. They'll play him, they'd be crazy not to. They trade for every teams best player and have no plan. Look at the Russian championship teams and Olympic teams, same story they have no idea what they're doing. Kablulov, Dergachyov, Ketov getting minutes but Buch can't? Well if SKA is eliminated and a big IF, Russia probably will select Kovi, Shipachyov, Gusev, Dadonov, and who knows, maybe more top KHL guys depending on what teams are eliminated. Where's he playing in the WC too? Left bench near the water jug? I'm sick of this

Is it a normal rule that they can dress 7 Dmen and 13 forwards as long as they only play 12F or something? According to the box score they played 7 D and 12F with those tweets showing Buch on the bench as 13th with no ice time.
A professional powerhouse team with an NHL experienced head coach who was a decorated player himself and who I'm sure already forgot about hockey what most here will never even scratch... he won't play Pavel even a minute... that to me speaks volumes. Huge red flag. I don't expect him to make the impact a lot of you HOPE he will. There is no indication he is half the player you all think he is. He has not proven it to his coaches to earn ice time in a pro league and he's gonna do it here? HAHA
Please tell me more about how great all ex players are at coaching.... How did things work out for 99 in the desert again??

I don't give a good rats arse how deep a team you have. You don't dress a kid and give him 0 shifts.
There's no development in that. Zubov and the rest of the management there are complete idiots.
He must have outright rejected a contract offer and they are ******** over it.
Listen I am a big fan of the NYR but I don't stop being objective because of that. I understand the fear behind a lot of your comments. There has been a lynch mob mentality on this thread ever since we traded away Anthony Duclair. And now everyone is praying and hoping this guy will be a savior and that the Rangers made a mistake in trading away their best offensive prospect. So now the second is the best one left and he better pan out. I understand. So now a lot of you are clinging and hanging on to Butcher and he can do no wrong. And listen I understand he might be better than Duclair but we don't know that yet. And he has not earned playing time in his team. That is not speculation or hope that is fact. What I do know is the expectations on this kids back when he gets here and if he gets here will be astronomical and motivated by fan fear. But its not his fault and I hope people understand that. I don't expect him to come here and light the league on fire. There is no evidence that projects to him doing so. So far.
