Proposal: Eichel to Rangers

[jay from jersey]

Man, I remember reading the Roster Building thread and there were a lot of "Monahan 1 for 1 isn't enough" and lots of talk about Lindholm 1 for 1.

Maybe pre contract signing. Definitely not now going on his 4th team after this fiasco. I expect some team will give him a 1yr 1-1.5 mil show me deal. He’s too talented not to play, it’s the other stuff that drags down his value. Offensively everyone can see he has the goods and for those who trashed him defensively, he was still a plus player dragging around Staal as a partner, he’s not much more the a pylon now since his injuries. I would think he would put up great numbers in the right situation, however trades are made on more things then just talent alone

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

EDIT: Almost forgot when Rags fans decided to go after Dylan Larkin for spare parts lmao

And how many Ranger fans said those trades were bad for the other team? You have less than 10 NYR fans acting like we can get those prospects for nothing.

For Eichel, most of us know the cost is too high. Just because we don't want to pay it doesn't mean we expect Eichel for less. We know that if Fox, Kakko or Fox aren't involved there is no deal, regardless the package. We know Buffalo wants Laf over Kakko.

Im simply suggesting Eichel at 10m is far more valuable than Trouba or Kreider and I think they jumped the gun to try and speed up the rebuild

the Rangers have a lot of guys to pay in the next two offseasons and having Trouba and Kreiders deals makes that harder to work around

I mean that’s any sport where there’s a salary cap. You pay for success. Also you aren’t considering the context of the moves that the Rangers made for those players. When they traded for Trouba they didn’t know that Adam Fox was going to be a Norris candidate. Heck it was before Fox had even played NHL game. Kreider was signed before the Rangers win the draft lottery to take Lafreniere. Do they make either move in hindsight? Maybe? But they were filling out their roster and trying to get better. That’s usually what teams try to do. Of course the Rangers have guys to pay, and they will need to figure that out, but either way Kreider and Trouba are not negatives

Your boy is damaged goods and your new GM is getting bent over by other GMs on all the trades. Should have traded him around last draft before the neck injury.

What trades did he get bent over from?

 

[is the answer jesus]

His username is: "JoemAvs" and he has a picture of Svatos in an Avalanche jersey. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say he's probably not a Sabres fan.
I will also say I'm also a little confused on the "new GM getting bent over by other GM's on all the trades" comment. Like which trades in particular? Because right now I'd say he's been ok. Not great, not terrible, not really any big deals thus far to make a statement like that in my opinion.

The funny thing if he was a New York ranger they be asking for cozens + +++


Maybe they will understand now

 

[MarkusKetterer]

My point has been he's damaged goods, and now you defend him because he was injured. Part of me thinks that because the entire Sabres organization is a gong show from top to bottom, yeah, it's going to look like Eichel is the only shining light in the inescapable black hole of despair that is Buffalo. Im not interested in seeing how he does outside of it. You pop drinkers can keep him. It's his Hell, not mine. At least he can shop at your grocery nirvana, Wegmans.

Pop drinkers as an insult? Well that’s a new one

 

[GOALOFSSON]

wake me up when Byfield scores close to a point per game against grown men, like Kakko did when he was 17/18 scoring 43 points in 50 games and when Byfield has 3 gold medals or maybe plays an NHL game.

Wake me up when Kakko's 0.34 p/pg pace goes up close to a whole point.

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

There is a joke about angry Sabres fans hidden in this delusional post. Luckily they'd go for the Pegulas first, buying him some time.

I do have a point, sorry you missed it so I’ll reiterate: the Sabres are a far ways away from competing in this league. The first thing you need is a new ownership group (most of you at least privately agree with this).

Could you define your use of the word "far"

I know alot of people from Buffalo. It's more of a weak jab than an actual punch.

Completely different situation. In that case NY would have their 1C which they need so the ask would be very high to get rid of him. Eichel would also be winning more so presumably happier so there would be no worry when his NMC kicks in. They would also have figured out their cap situation if he was there (which is another issue for them currently if they bring in Eichel)

You totally missed the point

 

[jellybeans]

Neither team does this. I certainly wouldn't trade Laf or Kak for Eichel

I agree with you but it would take both +++ to get Eichel.

 

[CupsOverCash]

Wait are the Sabres really thinking of trading Eichel to the Rangers? I think that would be a mistake and obviously good for the Rangers. If they do trade him don't pull another ROR again...

 

[rangersfansince08]

I agree with you but it would take both +++ to get Eichel.

And that would be a massive mistake. Eichel is great and would be a pretty good sized improvement over Zibby. Enough to justify Laf AND Kakko? Probably not.

No. Some Rangers blogger almost a year ago said the Sabres weren't shopping Eichel, but the Rangers had called and asked about him anyway, and certain posters on this site haven't shut up about it since.

And by certain posters, you should specify; Not All Rangers Fans.

This thread wasn’t even started by a Rangers fan. I recall an Oilers fan creating an Eichel to NYR thread too.

A good portion of us want nothing to do with him.

And some NYR blogger isn’t the only one that tweeted about Eichel and NYR. Bob McKenzie tweeted about it a few months back. There was also an article in the athletic about it.

Except that when the deal happens, Buffalo will not be getting those players or two just like them in the deal

Some articles about it if your interested.
Rangers had "reasonable" trade offer on table for Jack Eichel, teams unlikely to beat them - Forever Blueshirts: A site for New York Rangers fanatics

Edit: Deleted a link because it said Dreger claims Eichel requested a trade? I can't find that anywhere else. Probably a fake article.

Well I have like 3 dictionaries sitting next to me, Websters, Cambridge, and Britannica plus an Almanac, so there tough word guy

Eichel for a signed Seth Jones....

Hey. I love the Rangers. But don't f*** about with making fun of Wegmans (also, that's more of a Rochester thing than a Buffalo thing).
