Thread: Now Leetch has left

Honestly have no idea what Leetch's specific role was, anyway.

I know fans want to get crazed because a former Ranger Hall of Famer is leaving. But regardless of who he was as a player, I doubt he has been as pivotal in his advisory position as many wish to think.

Seriously not concerned about this, whatsoever.

They have 2 years before Lafreniere and K'Andre burn off their ELC's. As long as they go the Bridge route with their other young guys (outside of Fox, and probably Shesterkin), they could weather the financial storm a bit.

Thread: florida blockbuster

I would be interested to see if Panther fans would go for that. I think Lundell is the best C Prospect available that doesn't play in SoCal.

I feel like he is untouchable. But if they resign Barkov and look to add other pieces, this would work for me.

Thread: Eichel is not the move

In the event that Barkov somehow doesn't resign with Florida, I would be all over him in Free Agency.

But as long as he is with the Panthers, as they are a legitimate Contender, there is nothing we could possibly offer in a trade.

I wouldn't trade that package for a healthy Eichel.

If the injury indeed lowers his stock, there is no way he is getting all of that.

The Rangers Prospect pool is in fantastic shape. With that being the case, on top of the fact that pretty much all our Top Young Guns would not be included, I have no issue dishing out an extra 1st. Won't impact the Rangers in the immediate future.

Especially since they should both be Mid to Late Picks. Rather dish out an extra one of those over a Lundkvist or a Kravtsov.

I think everyone would prefer to dump Trouba's Contract, at this point. Easier said than done, though.

Thread: NYR side VGK and BUF

The Rangers are giving up more in this 3 way deal than they would if they dealt with Buffalo alone.

Basically swapping out Chytil with Stephenson.

Than giving up Zibenejad, Kakko, Lundkvist and a 1st for Eichel.

This doesn't benefit the Rangers at all.

Thread: Offseason V10

After today's comments, that seems like a bit of an overpay.

Not only that he wants out, but his comments on not being able to receive surgery for his neck.

Lingering injuries, along with general unhappiness, make things more difficult for the Buffalo Front Office.

In the event Rangers need to move salary to help fit Eichel. Could also be used as a later trade chip for more assets.

You wouldn't have gotten that return even before Eichel lowered his value.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aecliptic</b></div><div>Rangers arent taking on Eichel's contract AND resigning Buch. Not gonna happen. Also not gonna happen is Kakko being traded.</div></div>

The Eichel comments came out shortly after I made this proposal (or I just noticed them then). After what was said, a low ball offer without Kakko can definitely be considered.

I am predominantly against offering Kakko, but I figured I would try something different. Glad Eichel is lowering his own value enough that keeping Kakko is more likely.

Thread: Tkachuk for Laf

Lafreniere has tons of potential, and was just starting to get his feet under him at the end of the Season.

Kind of a bad look to be gifted the Top Prize of the Draft class, that you really had no business obtaining, and then decide you're done with him after 56 games.

It kind of feels that way when two completely different sets of proposals getting shot down.

Ranger fans offer up D Prospects with maybe a Chytil or Kravtsov tossed I'm, and it goes nowhere.

Kings fans throw out trades with Vilardi and Kupari (and even a couple with Turcotte) with multiple 1st and maybe something like Bjornfot, and that goes nowhere.

2 different teams offering the Sabres Prospects from 2 different positions, yet none are good enough without those Top 4 guys.

Thread: chytil is possibly gone

While I see Chytil having a solid Career, I am just not convinced his future is at Center. And with the abundance of wingers the Rangers have, I too feel that he could be moved at some point.

Thread: Rangers

There have been about a thousand Eichel ACGM proposals made by fans of the Kings and Rangers. The 2 teams with the best and most abundant farm systems in the NHL.

Regardless of all those different packages, any that are created without any of these 4 players (Lafreniere, Kakko, Byfield or Turcotte) are automatically shot down.

I understand Sabres fans want as much as they can get, but I just don't expect either team to part with that cream of the crop. Still plenty of different combinations of Picks/Prospects/Roster players that could be suitable enough.
