Does anyone know for how long he is signed with the KHL?
did he say that exactly? i wouldn't be so sure.Expires at the end of this season. You should see him suit up for the Rangers next season.

i wouldn't hold it agains him if he prefered to play for one of the big clubs in the khl for an exuberant amount of money over having a dubious opportunity of playing in the ahl fpr peanuts. saying that, i'm inclined to think he'll try the ahl the next seasonI believe the only comment he made is that he hasn't made any plans yet, ie, his agent coached him to say nothing.
I'm sure the Rangers will push hard, though. He's talented as hell.

Why do you think the Rangers would want him? Hopefully for his sake, they overlooked the fact that the WJC was scheduled for December-January, just like Buchnevich did.
he did ok, reminds me off Filatov a little, may be not so much self-loving, but just as soft, once leadership is concerned.
don't worry, we're covered here. he'll go straight to the ahl. though, living on a steady diet of hamburgers and fries i doubt he'll ever get hungry there.He doesn't look NHL ready to me. Not hungry enough.
yes, I was high on him as well, till I saw him at the WJC. He was expected to be a leader and a commander, instead he was just a good player.
i don't knowIts fair to say that he was expected to be THE leader this year, but in fact, the closest he got to leadership was being on the same line with Barbashyov and Leschenko, who, along with Tolchinsky, were the real leaders of the team. He has a lot of talent and can make some pretty moves, but he won't go to the front of the net, won't fight for the puck, and tends to disappear when the pressure is turned up against good teams. The Rangers brass may say all the right things about him, but I have to believe that they are just as disappointed as Russian fans are in his failure to show up.

The NYR brass who keep eyes on prospects and talk to the media about them are all extremely encouraged with Buch after this WJC, and they were already pretty high on him to start the year.
The Rangers have brought good players from other leagues right into the NHL recently. He'll have every opportunity to do the same thing. Duclair got some time in from juniors this year, in the past Stepan and Kreider came right up from the NCAA, and guys like Hagelin and McD spent pretty short stints in the AHL before getting solid NHL time.
I'm surprised to see the opinions of him be so low in here. Seems like everyone is very high on him almost everywhere else.
If his team is eliminated today, wondering if the Rangers will try to bring him over now.
actually kuz was pretty mediocre at best in his last season with traktor. he got all his points playing on the pp, 5vs5, that was complete impotence. it looked like he's degrading in the khl (like, let's see, i'm degrading in the khl, what to do, what to do, bingo, i'm going to the nhl). i don't know with his tendency to shun all phisycal contact and being ineffectual in his own zone, his decision to go to the nhl was one big risky gamble to say the least.For what? The Kuznetsov case was different. Kuznetsov was older and a fully developed player, who is now suffering from Trotz' stubborness.
Buchnevich should now rest and take time to think about his future.

It's not about the performane though. It's about that he had nothing to prove or learn in the KHL at this age.
Just wondering from people who watch the KHL, how has Buch looked compared to Kucherov when he was Buch's age?
