Buffalo declines and its not even close. Ranger fans have a serious homerism with their players. Kakko has scored 19 goals in 184 games, thats like 4th line production. Chytil also hasnt produced. We know what Strome is. This is a bad deal for Buffalo

Thread: Eichel and Landeskog
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TrueCanuck</b></div><div>A #1 centre? Where? Strome is a #2 in New York and only cause he plays with Panarin. He's proved he's garbage with out him. He's no where close to a #1 centre.

That #2 overall pick has done barely anything in the league in 2 season. His value isn't high enough to be the centre piece of a deal for a player like Eichel.

Lundkvist is a prospect, he may work out and may not. There's no telling.

Georgiev is a career backup goalie at best. Buffalo already has a young goalie in their system who needs playing time that Georgiev should only hurt the development of.

It's a 1st round pick in a draft with so many unknowns that it has virtually the same value as a 2nd round pick.


It's a garbage offer. Eichel starts with Lafreniere or Buffalo hangs up. If you were a Sabre fan you wouldn't want this offer either.</div></div>

I am a Sabres fan. They aren't #1 on my teams, but they are easily 3. And think about, Strome doesn't have to be a #1 center anyway. Reinhart can play first line and Strome on the second. Strome has some great skills, and just because he's playing with Panarin doesn't mean he won't do well in Buffalo. The "proven garbage without him" was when he was still developing, and has taken some great steps. Just because he was bad in the past shouldn't turn teams off, especially when you see he was developing. Kakko is 20, and has shown a lot of potential, and has had a better year this year. Just because he hasn't been a monster doesn't mean he isn't good. Yes, Lundkvist is a prospect, but he's one of the better prospect in the league and that is what you would get anyway in a trade for Eichel. It's not like you are going to get Crosby, Malkin, and Guenztel for him. Georgiev absolutely has starter potential, he's been passed up not because he isn't good but because Shesterkin is even better. He'd be a great transition goalie for the sabres before they get to Luukonen. Finally, I'd argue a 1st is even better in this draft. While we don't really know where people are going, it doesn't make it a bad draft and i'd argue its a deep draft, and picking in the mid teens give the Sabres a lot of options. Just because it doesn't have lafreniere doesnt make it bad, and the sabres wanting much more than just lafreniere in that trade is outrageous.
