When talking about where Buchnevich would fit on the Rangers today, it gets a little dicey. Buchnevich is a legitimate top-six performer, while Blais has never played more than 40 games or produced more than 15 points in a season. But after five seasons with the Rangers, he has adapted quickly to his new surroundings. So thank you (to Blues fans) for that. The Rangers still must add Black-and-Blueshirts to the bottom-six mix. Contact Support, {{searchActivePlayers ? Our scouts kind of describe him as a Swiss army knife kind of player a player who can play both wings, can play up and down the lineup, has some edge to his game and has a big-time shot. All advice, including picks and predictions, is based on individual commentators opinions and not that of Minute Media or its related brands. So I was right about Kyrou, Buchnevich and . Thats not an optic. At 6-foot-2 and 205 pounds, Blais is a big-bodied competitor, the type of player with which the Rangers want to stock their roster. Worth noting: If it were a 1st round pick and not a 2nd round pick, we may not be having this discussion. Samsonov vs. Bobrovsky goalie matchup in Eastern 2nd Round I have good memories, a good time there. When Kakko returns, hes on the second line with Strome and Panarin. I dont think it takes much of a discussion to see that. Try a week on us. But perhaps equally important in the equation is that the Rangers were simply too unbalanced, too homogeneous, too top-heavy without the necessary bottom-six ingredients to win battles, to grind down the opposition, to emerge with two points when the top six was smothered. Like Goodrow, Blais is a defensive forward who can bolster the bottom six with more grit and tenacity. Trading Buchnevich was necessary for the Rangers financially, because key players such as goalie Igor Shesterkin, Norris Trophy-winner Adam Fox and top-line center Mika Zibanejad are due for substantial raises over the next two seasons. Its no coincidence that more of Buchnevichs shots arebeing preceded by high-danger passes than in the past.
