The Rangers are telling Kakko and Lafreniere to not score too much so their second contracts are leaue minimum and then bam 95 points.
It's the ultimate cap circumvention.

Player Discussion Pavel Buchnevich: Part VI
- Thread starter Krams
- Start date
Should have told Fox to ease in on the third pair so we could have locked him in to the best contract in the NHL.

Feeling it
I thought Buch was fantastic last night and has been for a majority of this season.
He is literally giving this team everything they need out of a top line forward.
Covering up for pinched D, hustling on the forecheck, forcing opposition breakouts to the correct side of the ice when his line is changing. Beating D one on one, finding holes in the D, making plays, opening up the ice for his teammates and himself, getting into open space to get quality shots off.. using his body effectively, playing with an edge, power play work, pk work, etc etc etc
Just watch him out there. His game has improved to a very high level and it’s becoming more and more consistent.
There’s a lot to like about this team especially the youngsters but Buch has really impressed the hell out of me lately

Forget it. He’s just busting his ass for the next big contract and once he gets it he will turn back into pumpkin.

Not fair. He's turned a real corner. So he'll but his ass for the next big contract and once he gets it he will turn back into gourd.Forget it. He’s just busting his ass for the next big contract and once he gets it he will turn back into pumpkin.
Buch is now a legit top liner who plays a two way game. He is what people hoped Nametsnikov would become.
There just ain't that many 60ish points two way RWs around.

I love that when looking back at this kid when he first came over, he had no core strength and would get knocked over if a stiff wind blew on the ice.
To see what he is now, compared to what he was when he arrived, it's truly a joy.
He's the 14th highest scoring player from his draft class. Oddly enough only 2 points ahead of another NYR Draftee Duclair, but Buch has done that in 100 less games.
Not sure that we can, but I do hope that they keep him around.

Fun fact but he's tied for 2nd with Marchand in SHGs
Not something I would've anticipated this year.
Also would not have anticipated a year where he's, by far, the best player on the KZB line.

Full on breakout year and he has the best personality to go with it.
* 9 pts away from his career high in 27 less games
40 points in 44 games. Wonder what a new contract will look like. Loving his two way game also.

Has been a joy to watch him take this next step. Have gotten my hopes that so many players would improve in this sort of way to no avail over the years, and here's Pav the Butcher just doing it.
Crazy how he has turned out to be our best drafted forward in the last 20 years. Only player who even comes close is Stepan, but at this point Buch has blown by him.

You should be pissed at Gorton, not Kreider.

He is a likely candidate to go. For a variety of reasons. None of which are his fault.

Knew that Kreider deal was a mistake when we signed him. Now we have to lose the better and younger player. I would add picks to unload Kreider and keep Buch honestly.
Do you believe that he truly is an 80 point player now? I realize full well what he is pacing but was trying to be a tad more realistic. Do you believe that he is an 80 point player?
You would throw draft picks at teams to take someone who is 13th in the league in goals?
