Pavel Buchnevich deserves a long term contract

One of the top priorities for the Rangers this offseason is locking up Pavel Buchnevich to a long term contract. Tom Urtz at Blueshirt Banter beat me to the punch here, and you should be reading his piece as well. Given his production, expected cap hit, and current roster construction, Buchnevich is a no-brainer to re-sign this offseason.

Expected contract

The most important thing for the Rangers when re-signing anyone is the contract term and length. According to Evolving-Hockey, Buchnevich is expected to come in around $6.3 million on a 4-5 year contract.
