    Default Buchnevich: Do you believe?

    Buchnevich is just sitting there on the wire in my league. He's been on my radar since training camp ever when the coach started using him on the top line and PP1. What are your expectations for him this season based on what you've seen so far, I know it's still early. I feel he should be on my roster before someone else picks him up, but not sure who I should drop for him.

    I think Buchnevich has legit upside and if he's ever going to bust out, this is the season. He's playing top line and top PP with some elite talent, and I suspect the Rangers will have a good year.

    That said, there is still a risk with Buchnevich, and I don't really see anyone on your roster I'd even remotely consider dropping for him outside of Niederreiter, but if you did that you'd have only three LWs and 5 RWs. I'm not sure that is good asset management.

    Yep this is how I see it too. He has the upside and so far is getting the right deployment, but I don’t see anyone worth dropping on your roster. I’d stand pat with what you have.

    I'm with you Dikoi...

    Wondering how many points people think Buch might be pegged for?

    Personally, I'm debating dropping Eberle for either him, JT Miller or Bertuzzi.

    Just looking at standings and saw that where some teams have played 8 games. NYR has only played 3! That's a significant amount of extra games. If there was a right time to grab him, perhaps it's now...

    MUST HAVE -- 8F, 4D, 2G --- (******Can only swap at same position, F, D, G ********)
    10 ACQUISITIONS TOTAL ON THE YEAR (**I've used NINE of them - ONE LEFT**) *** NO BENCH - NO IR - NO TRADES BETWEEN MEMBERS ***

    Miller far better option, he is getting the deployment he needs to thrive offensively. Good enough player in own right but needs more skilled line mates to really flourish.

    Zibanejad, Panarin, and Buchnevich played really well in pre-season and in the first two games. Miller has also looked good in Vancouver, as I thought he might. You can't really go wrong with Buchnevich or Miller, but given the extra few games Buchnevich (and the Rangers) will be playing shortly, that might be a nice added bonus in H2H leagues. I know I'm waiting for Trouba to have a bunch of games soon in which I can finally insert him into my weekly lineup.

    I think Buchnevich has a chance for a huge breakout too...however, your roster is really well stacked so I don't feel he's an upgrade over any of them....mayyyyybe nino, but Aho isn't going to be only empty-net goals all year long (right???)

    own him in a 16 team keeper and I'm hoping for 40-50 points - anything else is gravy
