With the New York Rangers season over, Pavel Buchnevich is now playing for the Russian National team. He was recently interviewed by Alexi Shevchenko of Sports-Express.ru and talked about several different topics which included the Rangers rebuild plans, his friendship with some of the players that were traded and of course Alain Vigneault.
At 23-years-old, Buchnevich is coming off his second season as a Ranger. He tallied 14 goals with 43 points in 74 games this season. He was expected to have a breakout season following a rocky rookie season where he only appeared in 41 games due to injury but never had the explosion that was expected of him.
