Pelletier is one of our best prospects. We shouldn't be trading him

why would they trade lafrenière who will be a superstar winger with 2 more years on an elc for a guy who doesn't even live up to his 10 mil contract. Even if they accepted they cant move the money around to make it work.

How does a top 10 center in the league that has singlehandedly carried his team every season and has been a near point per game every year not "live up to his contract"

The only year that he did was the previous one being in the 96th percentile of offense in the league. Previous to that hes been the 84th, 77th, 75th and 66th. This year he regressed significantly to the 28th percentile while obtaining an injury. he is not a top 10 center in the league by almost any metric at 5v5. He also almost never plays a full season

The only year that he did produce at a near ppg was last year? No that is just incredibly incorrect;
17/18 - 64 points in 67 games
18/19 - 82 points in 77 games
19/20 - 78 points in 68 games
20/21 - 18 points in 21 games (season ending injury)

2 of those seasons he was over a ppg and the other 2 he was only 3 points under.

I did not say he didn't produce a point per game. Additionally you are not taking into account 5v5 effectiveness. Points to not tell the whole story of a player. When i said he did that I was referring to living up to his contract

the **** are you smoking lul. If that was what Buffalo wanted for Eichel and they were willing to retain the Rangers would take that and run and win ROBBERY OF THE CENTURY

That literally is a steal for a guy who is a franchise player

How is he not worth 10 mill, do you watch hockey? Are you confusing him for Skinner?

Even without that retention that trade is pure utter robbery on the rangers side. You dont trade a franchise player for that return.

I mentioned the points per game when you asked me to explain why you were wrong so you are the one changing to a different topic. You dont even mention what stats you are referring to either

Did he sign a 10 million $ elc? Last year was his 2nd of the contract and the first year he had 82 points, not sure how thats not living up to his contract.

yep, Eichel is worth the money. Multiple 50+ point seasons, Multiple 20+ goal seasons, and hes only 24. Whether its the rangers, flames, kings, or wherever he goes that team will be getting a franchise guy

Like based on these stats we could see some dangerous lines

Panarin-Eichel-Buchnevich
Tkachuck-Eichel-Mangiapane
Iaffalo-Eichel-Kempe
and more

I said league offensive percentile rank. Additionally, This year 2021 xGF= .2 Last year 2020= .6 2019= 1.9 2018= .1. At 5v5 he is not generating many high quality scoring chances
