Seeing the recent post when I saw "blockbuster" I already knew Eichel was in it
Saying that the value is nowhere close to Eichel's.

Switch Lundkvist for K'Andre Miller, switch Kravtsov for Kakko and switch Chytil for Zibanejad.

Ok i kid, i kid

Rangers would have to deal cap to make it work. Swap Lundkvist with Trouba. Swap Chytil with Strome. Now you're in the ballpark.

Just stop

that's closer.

I get Eichel is a great talent but that is fair value. 5 great pieces to build a contender with. 2 top 6 forwards 1 top 2 defenses and 2 picks in a DEEP draft.

The value doesn't matter. The value could be fair and Buffalo still says no. They have no interest in trading Eichel. Just because an elite player wants out doesn't mean you trade him. Non of the pieces you are giving will replace Eichel.



Lol I was actually thinking of the same trade.
But I added 2 first round picks

if Wayne can be traded, anyone can be traded...
don't act like it is so far fetched. the Sabres are working on their 2nd rebuild since drafting Eichel and it is only his 5th season in the league. it isn't looking promising any time soon.
at some point you have to think the guy is going to ask out.

I said if Eichel wants out this is a realistic return. next time read the description

Yes I said just because your star player wants out doesn't mean you trade him. That makes zero sense. This isn't even nearly a realistic return because Eichel starts with Kappo and Mika
Stop wasting your time trying to convince sabre fans that this is a good trade
Read my comment properly next time

IMO, the Rangers may want to keep Zibanejad to give them 2 top centers. But I definitely like Kakko over Kravtsov, but I do not think the Sabres "need" a LHD prospect so neither Lundkvist nor K'Andre Miller really fit now so Chytil instead of either one. As adding Jack makes the Rangers playoff bound and the Sabres need more secondary scoring keeping Chytil makes more sense IMHO.

So please look at my post and give me some feedback. Not as a realistic trade but for value exchange and does it make sense for both teams https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/1716946.

realistically - if the scenario presented itself and an Eichel to Rangers trade were presented, what is the real value and need in the return? i would argue that Mika would be useless to Buffalo in the sense that if Eichel is gone they are going full rebuild. Mika's age and contract status aren't conducive to Buffalo right now.

Wayne's trade from EDM to LA was essentially 3 first rounders and $15M in cash (i am assuming the other bodies in this trade cancel each other out - Carson/Gelinas vs McSorley/Krush). Eichel is as top end talent as you can get, but he isn't Gretz. What is today's value looking back on "the trade".

i am asking you because you seem somewhat reasonable on this god forsaken site and you are not a fan of either team...

Just because you say it's a realistic trade doesn't mean that it is.

Hard to compare, because the Oilers owner was losing money and if he didn't trade Gretzky he could have walked for nothing at the end of the season.

I would think that the Lindros trade would be a better comparable.

Steve Duchesne
Peter Forsberg
Ron Hextall
Kerry Huffman
Mike Ricci
$15M cash
(2) 1st round picks

There's 29 other teams. Gotta think that gets beat. Is it fair to say that this offer leaves off their top 2 prospects?

as a ranger fan, no
