Zero chance of Kreider waiving his NMC for Buffalo.
Quoting: TuckerPoolman
Don’t care Reaves 1st line
Quoting: Dcochy
He’s worth that terrible package even if he played the next 5 years wearing a neck brace
Quoting: Sabres923
The Rangers are stupid to trade a 3rd for Ryan Reaves and trade Buch for sammy Blias.
Quoting: VS_Ranger
...The CBA explains the violations if Eichel gets the surgery he wants....
Quoting: delneggs
You mean Kreider wouldn't want to go play...
Quoting: Riley816
So Buchnevich was a cap casualty....
It must have been a bad year to trade RW, Reinhart's return was rather weak as well.

I wouldn't worry Eichel will make it back to the NHL.
Quoting: Jimbo1119
It's a safe bet he makes it back to the NHL....
I can hear the Sabre fans crying when this is just about the return Buffalo will get for Jack.
Two players who cap is about the same as Jack's: Strome, and Kreider.
Young prospect: Robertson
A couple of picks: 2022 1st round pick (NYR) and 2022 2nd round pick (NYR)
Unfortunately Strome, Kreider and Robertson do not fill in the missing pieces in the lineup unless one were to put Strome on RW.
The value of that package is about 4 first round picks.
Kreider and the 2nd together have a value of about 2 firsts.
Robertson and Strome have a value of at least a first.
Then the first.
Do the math, four first round picks.
Maybe Buffalo includes Olofsson (he is two years older than Jack and the same age as Ristolainen) and the Rangers add more.
So the Rangers trade a LW and C and get back a LW and C.
Just spitballin' here.
