Description

NYR AGM's have taught me that it only takes a quantity of players not quality to land a top player like Eichel. With this line of thinking in mind, it shouldn't take much to land Zibanijad then. Right Rangers fans? RIGHT?!?!?!?

Rangers Formula:

A cap dump
A player who is liked by the eye test crowd and hated by the analytics crowd
A "prospect" walking the bust line
A player who has shown promise but still has yet to break out
A 1st round pick not in the current draft
A meaningless middle round pick

So you expcect us to take on Okposo's atrocious deall (he's worth 1,5 mil at this point, dude can't skate), a RD we don't need, a slightly better Andersson, a middle six forward and a bunch of picks for a C on an amazing contract???

The Rangers aren’t trading Zabanejad. It’s like other teams trying to get Eichel. It’s not happening

As stated in the description (reading is hard), this is the formula I see with most Rags AGM's that trade for Eichel. SO it should easily land a lesser center in Zibanejad.
