NYR Today Sat 5/14: Buchnevich, NYR Grades, Alumni

ICYM: Rangers signed prospect Pavel Buchnevich to Entry Level Contract

Additional Contract Clause:
Pavel Buchnevich has a European Assignment Clause in his contract with the Rangers which means that he has the right to play in Europe if not on the Rangers roster.
Buchnevich would rather return to the KHL rather than play in the AHL. If Bucmnevich does not make the Rangers roster and is sent down to the AHL he can return to Europe but he if is called up he has to return to the team.

RNYRF's GRADING THE RANGERS 2015-2016
KEITH YANDLE Defenseman

Playing in his 6th 82+ game season Yandle showed why he was brought to the Rangers at last year's trade deadline leading the team in assists with 42. Yandle also added 5 gooals, 2 of which came on the anemic Rangers power play. A minus 4 on the season Yandle did find himself caught in the opposition's end many times where he could not get back into defensive position resulting in goals against, a problem that plagued him being paired with an aging Dan Boyle who had lost more than a few steps in his game. Overall a good season for Yandle who most likely will garner a 6 million plus per year contract somewhere else rather than in New York due to an already over priced defense corps.
