If Eichel happens

Team: 2021-22 New York Rangers

Initial Creation Date: Sep. 21, 2021

Published: Sep. 21, 2021

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Buffalo fans will say "decline". Ranger fans will say "overpay". With retention it will cost. This was for fun trying to build solid lines if Eichel happens.
Reilly Smith and Cody Eakin have both played for Turk.
Strong top 6.
Now go ahead and kill me in comments but I think a few picks either way and these trades are doable.

COL can't have Kreider long term at that AAV, unless MacKinnon will sign for a box of chick pea pasta on his next deal

If any Buffalo fan says decline they need to give their head a hard shake that’s about 4x more than I’d give up for a broken overpaid disgruntled player.

An overpay for Eichel and an totally impractical trade for the Avs.

*IF" Eichel happens, one of Strome/Chytil stay - they don't move both.
Eakin is GOD AWFUL, not even close to a 3rd line center.

the team above is worse than the current team the Rangers can roster...

I would probably end up doing that from buffalo's side, albeit begrudgingly with the retention

Name one accomplishment he has to justify 10 million dollar wage?
Did he once put the team on his back and make playoffs? Buffalo has had enough pieces apart the roster that a deserving of 10 million dollar player at least should have gotten them into the conversation.
Does he have any hardware trophies? Hall won a hart trophy from taking a just as bad jersey roster into playoffs. It’s not that I hate eichel just think he’s heavily overrated on this site like he’s a top player in the league but hasn’t done anything at all to be in that conversation.
