  1. Eichel, Jack
Additional Details:
I'm not sure I even want Eichel, but both fan bases dont understand value. Buffalo isn't getting Laf + Kakko + 3 1st round picks or something absurd like that. just like the Rangers arent getting him for Chytil, Strome and a 1st round pick or something ridiculous like that.

Kings would have to put Byfield on the table.

I want Hertl and would talk to SJ to see if they are rebuilding (they should) or wait to see who is available in 2022 (Hertl as a FA? Courtier? Reinhart?. etc). As I said I dont know if I even want Eichel as I feel he's like Zibanejad, flashy, skill and the Rangers seem to have too much of that


Hertl would fit that criteria, I would make that move. In an ideal world it would be Bo Horvat but he's 99.9% no available. We just need to pick a route and say ok, Panarin and Kreider are locked up long term and aging, we have Laf, Kakko, Fox. Lets sell some of the other youth we have for players 25-28 years old with skill and some edge and actually build a team thats deep and versatile.

With Strome being a short term option, if Kakko busts , this trade ends up being Schneider and a mid 1st. So it’s for sure risky for Buffalo


Yeah, Kaako is a bum

Buffalo should go for Rossi or Turcotte instead

It's only reasonable if you think Eichel can deliver something the others cannot. I have not seen that in him. Indeed, I have mostly seen the opposite. He's a selfish, offence-only guy who does a few things very well, but has no character.


Better than any center the Rangers have

I mean there's a lot of wise ways to build the team. None of them involve trading Chytil. And none of them involve keeping Mika or Strome. Re-evaluate appropriately.


none of them involve keep Zibanejad? ok lol.. I swear hockey fans think people just fall off a cliff after 25 years old or something.

Let me start by saying I'm not accusing Eichel of being disgruntled (officially he has not said he wants out of Buffalo) . If the speculation is true, Eichel is a Sabers franchise captain, the Sabers organization did their best to surround him with talent but captain Eich can't seem to get it together and now wants to jump ship.....He also just had some serious surgery. What makes us Rangers fans think he will be any different on Broadway? I'll pass and maybe look at older experienced centers to mentor the young ones ... Giroux, Bergeron, (22/23) Krecji (21/22) who will be discount free agents soon!
