This is Eichel's value...IF he weren't injured and wanting off the ship. Rangers have no reason to take on all that risk and send this type of package over to Buffalo when they are in an untenable situation.
Can we honestly say Eichel is going to play for Buffalo next season? I can't see it at this point...it would be a giant $H!T show!
If they are insistent on not moving him for less, then he's going to sit out. What's that going to do for his trade value?
Why would the Rangers, or any team, give up this kind of haul for an injured player with a lot of risk who is likely to sit out until he is moved?
Remove Kravtsov, Remove Schneider, install Zach Jones, include 2022 2nd (Rangers have 2, take your pick), include Strome to balance money at least for a season..that's about it.
And then the Rangers get to enjoy some cap headaches moving forward.
If the Rangers were interested in offering more, the deal would have been done already.
