Why worst fear is also acquiring a true 1C for a reasonable price and a very good RW

I think you can rest easy

If he has that retention… DEAL. If we are paying that for Senko then it’s a hard pass.

That Eichel proposal was based off a Larry Brooks article. Since it seemed like he was just conjuring ideas in his head,, I'm not really giving much thought to it.

If Eichel isn't healthy (or it's perceived he won't ever be fully healthy again), then that's the only true determining factor. A compromised 1C ruins any trade.

We get an injured Eichel for a lesser package and the full Cap hit, that's an empty $10M over the next 5 years eating our Overall Cap. It's a Giancarlo Stanton trade. Regardless of getting him for nothing, the money hurts us.

We get him for only $5M in the proposal above, we get to keep Zibenejad. But our C depth behind him would still be weak, and we'd have given away pieces like Kakko and Robertson for nothing.

If Eichel can be salvaged into the 1C we are expecting, then fine, pull off the trade. But if he can't, there is no combination of package or retention that will keep it from being a horrendous trade.

Tarasenko would need retention as well to make it work.

I didn’t read the article but anybody who’s writing about a deal with 50% retention on Eichel is a hack (and if this is from Larry Brooks than that makes sense).

Thai deal above is such and underpayment it's insanity...5 million retained that costs Kakko and Laf

We have a new leader in most ridoculous Eichel take...retain $5M then trade him for a deal that includes 2 pieces at the position the Sabres have zero need (LD). Just an all around embarrassing effort. Typical NYR.

And Rangers fans don’t even want to trade their glorified Reilly Nash for Eichel with half retained.

Hell no. He better turn into fricken McDavid or MacKinnon for that. I’d rather roll with Mika and Strome and Chytil than consider this crap.

The Blues don't need or want Strome, and one year of him isn't getting Tank anyway.

Ive tried, might as well have an all left handed d proposal at this point. Theres no thought put into what the other team needs, just 'heres some stuff we wont miss'.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Enough said, can't fix stupidity

I stopped at $5 mil retained.

Have fun keeping him on ltir for the next 5 years.

He’s obviously getting traded this offseason. Not to the Rangers though.

That’s perfectly okay with me.
