Nichushkin vs Buchnevich

[Kshahdoo]

Two Russians, two wingers, two friends. Both of the same draft and age as well. Who would you take for your team? Buchnevich was more successful in previous years, Nichushkin looks great in this playoffs. The only thing Nichushkin is clearly better in is nickname.

At this point Buch is more proven

The one that looks like a Russian stepbrother of Felix Kjellberg

Homer vote for nuke cause he's probably one of my favorite players in the league. Buch is amazing though.

Can Nichuskin replicate this production without MacKinnon?

 

[amnesiac]

Holy recency bias..... this should be Buchnevich quite easily.

For me team, i think i'd go with the one who didn't look like a borderline bust before hooking up with MacKinnon and Co.

1 Pavel Buchnevich please.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Is this a joke? Most of you must not watch hockey.

Nichushkin played his first of six NHL seasons at or above .5PPG. Buchnevich played his fifth of six NHL seasons at or above .5PPG, and the other one was his rookie season at .49 PPG.

Nichushkin didn’t even have a higher PPG this season. Not that close either. At no point in his career has he been better offensively. And while he’s very good defensively, so is Buchnevich. Buchnevich’s one of the best defensive wingers in the league.

Buch AINEC

 

[CanadienShark]

Bizarre votes. Answer is Buchnevich for sure.

 

[SillyRabbit]

The poll results are a perfect example of how much this forum is affected by recency bias.

 

[Aqualung]

Surprised and yet not surprised at the results.

 

[TheHelmet]

choose your weapon
If you suck at generating offense, I would suggest throwing money at the soon to be UFA

Plus seeing NYR even strength offense this playoffs, I can guarantee they regret that trade of a young, elite offensive driving player for a 2nd round pick, and a pair of used socks.

Maybe 2019 Buch vs Nichushkin now

2022 Buch is a lot better

these poll results are f***in insane

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

I take Nuke because the team I cheer for already has Nuke. The correct answer is, can we have both? I think Buchnevich is the more natural offensive weapon, but having watched Nichushkin the last couple of years, it's hard not to love the big guy. Relentless on the forecheck, so fast and strong, smart defensively. Basically, the perfect complimentary player.

 

[Foppberg]

Nuke is ours leave him alone. He sucks.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

hah i was in the middle of making this poll a few days ago but decided against it, thought it would be a landslide for Buch. Couple of big games for Nichushkin changed that. He's a real good player though and will get a nice deal this summer.

Gotta go with the Champ
