As opposed to 'hey lets cater to all his needs'.
No special treatment for anyone.
It sets a terrible example and puts the Rangers in a bad position moving forward in terms of development of their youth and how they handle it.
The Rangers have been doing it the right way for the past 6-7 years. They seem to have a good handle on it and not only that they lure the college players that elected free agency rather than sign with the teams that drafted them.
Let's look at their track record over the past 7 years:
Stepan
Kreider
Miller
Hayes (Signed as free agent)
Fast
Lindberg (acquired early on from Phoenix)
McDonagh (acquired early on from MTL)
Staal
Girardi
Skjei
Lundqvist
Vesey* (signed as free agent)
Buchnevich*
Past players:
Callahan
Dubinsky
Anisimov
Del Zotto
Talbot
Hagelin
Boyle (acquired early on from LAK)
They have turned around a lot of young players/prospects into NHL regulars that contribute in a huge way. It says a lot about this organization.
So no I wouldnt let Buch dictate his future. He is a kid. And fortunately he is playing for an organization that has a pretty high success rate in developing NHL players.
