Pavel Buchnevich - The Real Deal?

[StuntMan12]

10 pts in 12 games. very skilled, great hands, 21 years old, RUSSIAN

i own him in a points keeper but I put him on the block since i am contending this year and am hoping to get guys who can help with points this year but no bites yet. i'm not going to drop him of course but is this guy the real deal and should i hang onto him unless an overpayment is offered?

what do you guys think of his upside?

[Doug Glatt]

I would hang onto him unless there is an overpayment involved. Someone who has scored 10 points in his first 12 NHL games is already a guy "who can help with points this year" as long as that back issue he had stays under control. NYR is not having trouble scoring points and Buchnevich's usage suggests he will be in a prominent role all year long and into the future.

I have been reading some articles this evening and Buchnevich has appeared in several of the usual "pick these guys up" pieces you see on Sundays and Mondays. You might get some interest as a result.

He's probably better than a drop in your league, but it's also a tough time to be selling him.
