The reported last offer from the Rangers is Jones, Kravtsov, Georgiev, Strome and a 1st. If the Rangers were willing to move Kakko or Schneider, this deal is probably done already. All the posturing and expiring leverage Adams has seems to be trying to get Schneider added to the package over Jones. So basically there is no chance you get Kakko, and absolutely no chance you get Kakko and Schneider.

Yeah easy and quick Ranger decline.

Like BSpadaro83 said above, rumors are: 1 of Chytil or Kravtsov, 1 of Zac Jones or Matthew Robertson, Georgiev and a 2022 1st. Strome can be thrown in or the proceeds of a Strome trade.

Thats not a good eichel trade

I can see chytil or kravtsov, dont know which the sabres would prefer. As for jones and robertson, this is nowhere near a position of need, right d is where we would need a good player, or just keep the d out of it altogether. And jones and robertson are hardly cant miss prospects that we can just flip for a first.

Yeah I kind of agree that it isn't position of need with Dahlin, Samuelsson, Power, etc.

I believe the Rangers consider "Chytil or Kravtsov" as the center piece of the above Eichel trade I mentioned and the rest are complementary pieces. I think they also believe that any trade including Schneider they would view him as the center piece so then they wouldn't include Chytil or Kravtsov. Something along the lines of Schneider, Strome, Georgiev, 2022 1st and maybe another mid level prospect or pick.

Now when push comes to shove, I don't think Schneider and Chytil is off the table at the end and can see them doing it.
