Pavel Buchnevich has had a fine start to his 2020-21 season, and it is coming in the final year of a two-year deal in which he’s currently making $3.25 million.
In theory, an extension for Buchnevich shouldn’t be all that difficult, as there have been many comparable deals made with players in his cohort. These include Anthony Mantha, Oliver Bjorkstrand, and Josh Anderson as some recent comparables. But the Rangers’ financial situation, their prospects on the wing, and what Buchnevich could be looking to do make things complicated.
With that said, what could an extension look like?
