Rangers trade Pavel Buchnevich to St. Louis Blues; likely more deals coming

The New York Rangers opted not to deal with the upcoming salary negotiations for winger Pavel Buchnevich. He was traded today to the St. Louis Blues in exchange for Sammy Blais and a second round pick.

Implications of this move would indicate that there is more to come from both the Blues and the Rangers. Adding Buchnevich will help replace the void that will be left once St. Louis deals Vladimir Tarasenko.

The Rangers will avoid likely having to payout Buchnevich upwards to $6 million dollars over a new 5-7 year deal that he is seeking.
