Is it that crazy to not want to be locked long term to a 10M question mark? Jesus the bar for what passes for "Elite" has never been lower.
Mika last year:
57gp41g34a75pts
[TBODY] [/TBODY]
Jack last year:
68gp36g42a78pts
[TBODY] [/TBODY]
I know Eichel didn't have the same cast, but those are great numbers from Mika. He had a rough stretch coming back from COVID but he's almost back to PPG this season. Keep Eichel. FFS stop making this thread people. There's no deal I want any part of here.

These Rags fan Eichel proposals are just as delusional as when they thought they'd dump Anthony DeAngelo to every team in the NHL for some of their best assets or when they thought they'd pry Zegras out of Anaheim for Chytil :laugh:

EDIT: Almost forgot when Rags fans decided to go after Dylan Larkin for spare parts lmao
Not sure where this is coming from but beyond 3-4 people the rest of the fan base has not made any crazy or outrageous proposals for either. The usual suspects don’t speak for the rest of us with these garbage labels

Funny thing is, most Rangers fans don't want Eichel.

Too much of a cap hit in a flat cap.

We want to see the Rangers grow from within.

If anything, they would prolly try to get a C under ELC with using their DMan prospect depth.

And lmao @ Fox+ for Eichel.

Fox is untouchable.

Deangelo for lindholm + small add was always a good 1

they are a wild bunch
DeAngelo on talent is one of the finest offensive D in the league. When you consider the whole package before the incident I don’t think there were that many people from the rangers fan base who thought he’d get more then a late first. No one I had seen would have even suggested lindholm 1 vs 1 except the usually suspects.

Fox is truly remarkable. Could win the Norris at 23. He is severely underrated by some on this forum just because he is a. Ranger. He’s going nowhere, ranger for life unless he asks out for some strange reason. When your breaking and tying Brian Leetch and Brad Park records for ranger defensemen it’s a pretty safe bet your going to be one of the greats

Eichel plays on a bottom 5 NHL team. He would dominate given actual teammates.

And yet here we are, again, with yet another garbage Rags fan Eichel proposal

It's almost like clockwork
The point is moot until a couple things happen.
1. Eichel has to come back and keep playing at a high level and prove there are no long lasting effects from a serious neck surgery. He also had a bad shoulder or collarbone if I’m not mistaken either.
2. Things continue to leak out in the media that Eichel is not content waiting for the Sabres to become a playoff team and officially want out.
Until those 2 things happen there’s no point in even discussing a deal. No team would want to offer top assets for a potentially damaged 60 million dollar investment with a NMC, and the Sabres won’t want to trade their best FWD/ Center in their franchise unless they are sure he doesn’t want to be there and would be a detriment to an young upcoming locker room.

Fortunately the rangers still have Zibby and Strome locked up for another year for the same money Eichel is making now. And for the Sabres Eichel’s NMC doesn’t kick in for 2 years so they don’t have to deal him fast and take 10 cents on the dollar to let him pick where he wants to play. I expect this thread/ trade talk to be revisited around the deadline or end of season next year when the picture is more clear on both ends.

in that time frame for the rangers the options will be more clear. Barkov will either have signed a massive deal or not and be intent on testing free agency, and Eichel will either want out or not. This will answer many questions on if the rangers make a serious trade offer for Eichel, throw a ton of cash at Barkov or try to resign Zibby to a team friendly 9.5 mill 5-6 yr deal. These are the only ways to proceed at this current time. Anything else is just nonsense.

Every team's fanbase is going to have a handful of people who can't help chasing the shiny new object. The reality is that regardless of what Buffalo fans think of the Rangers prospects, regardless of whether Eichel comes back from his injuries, regardless of whether Eichel is a good as Buff fans believe him to be-- the Rangers can't afford him. They can for a year or two, but once the kids start hitting 2nd and 3rd contracts, there's just no way. As I mentioned in my last post, because of the lottery luck, this team is constructed to be strong on the wings and the back end. We need bargains at center. We'll need a couple of Michael Nylanders, not a Jack Eichel. The only alternative is to change the structure of the team, and I don't see them moving Laf, Kakko, or Panarin, or being able to move Kreider while the cap is flat.

Eichel....$10 million/per, 4 more years to Rangers, hey?

I think what I'd be asking for is a player from each position to make the money work, something like....

LW Buchnevich, $3.25 mil/per, then RFA only
G Georgiev, $2.425 mil/per, 1 year left, then RFA only
LD K'Andre Miller $925,000/per, 2 more years, then RFA only
Rangers 2021 1st round pick

the money isn't quite square but you get the point and if Buffalo was ever crazy enough to trade Eichel, he won't come cheap ! o_O

They are just going to think what they want no matter what the facts of the situation are. It’s crazy town
These threads always go exactly the same.

Rangers fans: "Here's what I would give up for Eichel."

Sabres fans: "We would never do that!"

Rangers fans: "Oh, ok, I guess not then."

Sabres fans: "THEN DON'T START THE THREAD!"

Rangers fans: "We didn't start the thread."

Sabres fans: "YOU'RE SO DELUSIONAL!!!!"

Why are Rangers fans the worst?

No one is saying Kakko is a better player than Eichel. We are saying that there are also economic considerations in a deal. 10m a season is a lot to commit. Also not for nothing but if Eichel means the Rangers need to commit more years to David Quinn, I wouldn’t trade Jack Johnson for him.

Plenty of teams will offer top assets to get Eichel if he's on the market this summer.

10m for Jack Eichel is worth it; 8m for Jacob Trouba wasnt

Rangers were in a position of strength cap wise before making that signing IMO. Now with Trouba and Kreider's deals, theyll need to shed one before they truly contend IMO

Not if he doesn’t come back at a high level from a serious neck injury/surgery. Try ready the whole post before selectively editing a paragraph. If they would they’d be stupid. If he’s fully healed he’s a great player

Because our fans are sick and tired of the endless bullshit and disrespect we have been getting shown here with embarrassing dogshit Eichel offers and Rangers fans here tack on the "You are going to have to give him up for whatever we want to give you hahaha" that reeks of the New York sports fan "We are entitled to whatever player we want" attitude that causes everyone else on Earth to hate them with a passion. You aren't one of the offenders but others keep essentially trolling these threads and it's ridiculous.

Gorton would need to hire a bodyguard if he made this trade.

A good report from the doctors and his trade value will be back up. There are 5-10 teams that have been searching for a 1C for many years. They'll take their chances on a full recovery if the doctors say so.

Trouba has not been a problem this year at all, and he might be getting the captaincy next season. Last year was rough as he adjusted to a new team and had a collection of miserable defensive partners, but this year him and Miller have really helped each other out. They are going to be a very solid pairing.

Kreider deal is worse but he hasn’t been a problem either. He’s exactly who they thought he is. He is also leading (or was recently in the lead of) the NHL in power play goals. That’s not nothing.

Both are a little over paid but neither is a minus and neither is the reason that the Rangers won’t be contending.

I did not say Eichel was not worth 10m. I said at 10m there are economic repercussions if he is acquired.
