    Default Buchnevich or Dvorak?

    I have Dvorak, thinking of swapping him for Buch.

    Primarily concerned with points, who do you like as a long term keeper? A lot of buzz about Buch (high upside) but I've heard some knocks on his skating and attitude, plus the recent healthy scratches make me worried about how Vigneault feels about him (disgruntled Russians always make you think KHL flight risk). Dvorak's showing signs but I'm very wary of owning any Coyotes, the offense just never seems to reach close to upside there.

    Stick with Dvorak imo...

    Take a look at Dvorak's last 2 seasons with the London Knights ... 🤤

    He's a player I'm currently watching closely ...

    I prefer Buch's upside. He's a young kid learning how to play in the NHL. He looked really good with Zibanejad early in the season and I suspect they get reunited again before too long. Interesting to see Zibby struggle without him and makes me wonder who was carrying who or do they just have good chemistry. Put them back together already.

    I prefer Buch in terms of upside... This is one that in a couple years either side could be eating words though

    Both players concern me...Arizona is a mess. So many of their players don't ever reach their potential. Though I can't see Keller not reaching his potential, and Dvorak has shown some chemistry with him.

    Buchnevich is already the best offensive player on the Rangers (of that I am convinced), but for some reason the coach doesn't play him enough to succeed.

    Based on skill alone, I'd go with Buchnevich, but it really is a coin toss.

    Wow... both these guys have opportunity....

    Dvorak is on a team full of young potential... who can take the reins and run with it.

    Buchnevich is on a team with some older guys that need to be replaced...

    I think Buchnevich situation is better cause there is some established talent there to play with.

    Buch for me. I need to see more from Arizona before I'm convinced anyone not named Keller and OEL (borderline) are fantasy relevant.

    Buchnevich was finally given decent PP time last night, and he scored two points. I'd still like to see about 2-3 more minutes of total ice time, but once again we see that if given an opportunity, Buch will produce.
