Rick Carpiniello of The Athletic: Have heard that New York Rangers forward Pavel Buchnevich‘s name has come up but it’s not known if teams are just calling about him or if they put his name out there.
Buchnevich has played himself into a legit top-six winger and is a popular guy in the dressing room.
The 26-year old Buchnevich is a pending RFA with arbitration rights. He’s a year away from unrestricted free agency and will be looking for something over $5 million.
“I expect some talks to come up,” Buchnevich’s agent, Todd Diamond, told The Athletic on Monday.
