Thread: Rangers didnt need a deadline move
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles777</b></div><div>Lee did not initiate contact with Georgiev , therefore it is not goaltender interference . Go read the rule book. Even most rangers fans on twitter have said that was a BS call. Before the 2nd goal for rangers, mckegg clearly hooked varlamov with his stick and nothing was called.

The fact that pageau got 2,5,10 for standing up for a teammate was also BS. We were playing down 3 guys and technically scored 3 goals in 10 min on Georgiev at the end of the 3rd. Not too worried about him.</div></div>

Complain about the goaltender interference, I'm fine with that. That was a goal that was going to stand however it was called on the ice. Had NYR challenged a good goal, it would have remained. 50/50 on that one and open for discussion/disagreement.

Complaining about Pageau's 2,5,10: No. "Standing up for a teammate" after a clean hit is bull**** to begin with, and it is penalized exactly as it was in the game per the rulebook because a player who lays a big clean hit shouldn't be obligated to defend himself when he gets jumped.

Georgiev carried the Rangers last night. Panarin is unbelieveable. Terrible play by Isles 3v3 to chase one player. Rangers had no business winning that game, but sometimes a goalie steals the show. It's why NHL hockey is the most entertaining sport. The parity in the league is great, and any team can win on any given day, unlike the NFL and NBA.

Thread: What does it take to get Eichel to the better NY team
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Skyraider112</b></div><div>Eichel is not being traded and he won't ask for a trade. Also he is worth way more than that, don't disrespect him with that offer. You wouldn't trade Zibanejad for Montour, Johansson, Cozens and late 1st and a 3rd would you? Eichel is a much better player than ZIbanejad. (cue angry NYR fans saying otherwise)</div></div>

I don't think any NYR fan would say that Z is better than Eichel. Definitely not. Zibanejad is elite 1c. Eichel is superstar 1c.

Now, in regards to the trade value, I think you're undervaluing Deangelo, personally. I think converting the 3rd to a 1st makes sense, but beyond that, it would be an overpay to acquire him (which is what it would probably take, admittedly).

And I'll finally concede: Strome needs to be replaced in the trade with Chytil.

And I don't keep up with the Sabres at all, but I thought I had heard Eichel wasn't totally happy...and with them doing silly things like trading for Simmonds, it at least has me thinking: What is the direction of this team? And if I'm thinking it, is Eichel not?
