I just don't like Eichel and the Rangers have plenty of skill. They were the worst team in the league in winning face offs so that's what they need. They also need more grinders who can shut down opposing top lines. I watched every second the Rangers played this year have have watched them for 49 years. I like Cousins but New York isn't looking for more prospects. I watch a lot of post game interviews and don't like the way Eichel handles himself. He seems like a selfish player. If he was as good as some people think he would have had at last a point per game even injured. The injury he has is a tough injury to return from. I have had buddies with that same herniated disk in the neck injury and both had to stop playing sports entirely because of the pain and the danger associated with taking a hit with it. All I can say is I agree to disagree. Look at the points the last 3 years for both of these players who have both dealt with injuries during this time.

There is no way in #311 that I would even think of trading all that for Eichel, who might now even be playing or if he played like he did this year I would have zero interest in an entitled jerk who has proven little that he still has the balls to suck it up when he's hurting. I played with broken ribs, fingers, sprained ankles and a broken foot in several sports for nothing. If he can't play for 10 million, I would have no interest in him. Eat right, work your balls off, get sleep and man up. I bet you Zibanejad outscores Eichel by 50 - 100 points minimum over the next 5 years. Cousins might be decent once he adds some muscle. But Buchnevich will be a 60 - 90 point player for the next 5 years. SO I see those two players cancelling out and basically your giving Howden, (I am fine with that) Jones (power play skilled D) and a 1st round pick for nothing.

Thread: Realistic Eichel to the Rangers trade
With Eichel's neck issues I wouldn't trade for him no matter what they were asking. Strome had way more point than he had this year and I am not sure Eichel will ever get back to where he was. If the were offered Strome, a 1st round 2021, Kakko and Jones (D) then I think they should jump for it and do a dance. In 5 years that trade would be an albatross that the Ranger would likely regret and Buffalo would be laughing to the bank. They could get O'Reilly who would fit way better, is a better leader, wins more face offs and can play in all situations better for a one dimensional player who plays like he doesn't care half the time. I have played with players with similar neck injuries and none of them played for more than 2 years after they developed. Also they were like 50 % of they previous selves.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HOCKEYBOY448</b></div><div>I don’t see Nuge as a better option than Strome right now as 1B. Kuzy seems to have a lot more off ice issues than I’d personally prefer to add. Especially on a young team, he might be a negative in terms of being a poor leader in the locker room.</div></div>

It has been said that Strome has a great locker room presence and for a 50 + point centre in a short season, likely 70 points 82 games, my only concern with Strome is his face-offs. The Rangers were last on face-off wins which would improve their overall game and possession numbers. I expect at least a 15 percent improvement in all areas for NYR even if they didn't have any changes. I see Kakko, Lafreniere and Chytil to all have at least around 50 points each next season. None of them will be getting huge raises either.
