Thread: Rangers offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sabres923</b></div><div>So in one year the Sabres are left with two defensive prospects that they don’t really need. And 15th overall in a weird draft. Sabres and the Rangers really don’t make a lot of sense for an Eichel trade.</div></div> <div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sign_Kravtsov74</b></div><div>Cool you can argue with that but besides Dahlin Ristolainen Miller Jokiharju. But Risto is going to be most likely gone at the draft. Leaves you with 3 of those four. You need two big prospects for that awful blueline and they go well for that. Buffalo needs to draft well and they have high regards for this draft which I have no clue why. Shows you how "Amazing" their front office is</div></div> <div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sabres923</b></div><div>They have Dahlin and Jokiharju. Samuelson LD 32 overall in 2018, Johnson LD 31st overall in 2019. LD prospect they have no need for. Sure they could use Lundkvist, but I’m sure they would rather get forward prospects instead. Which the Rangers don’t really have any good ones.</div></div> <div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sign_Kravtsov74</b></div><div>Cool, but have they showed more promise than Robertson and Nils? And I guess Kravtsov, Chytil, Lafreniere, Kakko, etc have all died :/</div></div> Let's be clear here, Buffalo does not need to trade Eichel, he will not be given away.
Yes it is highly possible that Ristolainen will be traded.
Last year Bryson, Borgen and Samuelsson played their first NHL game and played well.
On the other hand Robertson has played well in the Juniors.
So if Ristolainen is traded and Miller is plucked by Seattle it leaves the Sabres with:
Dahlin Jokiharju
Bryson Borgen
Samuelsson (Irwin)

Borgen is the oldest of the five at 23 years old.

Buffalo needs RW talent as Reinhart may also be gone.
The ONLY young RW the Sabres have under contract is Tage Thompson.
If you want to make a trade for Eichel please include players that fill holes, not add to an already healthy prospect pool.

You may not want to add them but Kravtsov and Kakko make a lot more sense for Buffalo than Lundkvist and Robertson.
If you want you can add DeAngelo to balance the cap as well as Strome (who will not be a Sabre beyond next year).

Well that is my two cents.
