Player Discussion Jack Eichel Part 6 -- Does he get traded?

[Dirty Dog]

Kakko and Sillinger/Lucious is a notably worse package than Eklund and Comtois or Boldy and Addison, so I hope those aren’t the two main pieces in a Rangers deal.

Kakko < Eklund or Boldy,
#10OA < Comtois or Addison

I’d rank it:

boldy
Kakko
Eklund

But it’s close. I think Kakko and Boldy make an impact next year

 

[Doug Prishpreed]

Man if they do Eichel to the Rangers they better win the trade on paper. The fans will have to see this every time they turn on MSG. Not to mention all the national media.

I live in the damn city, how do you think I’m going to feel!! I’ll have to see his face in the dang subway, and billboards.

 

[tsujimoto74]

I was being sarcastic given there's nothing else useful we will get. At least according to HF Rangers.

I mean, according to HF Rangers, we're 100% trading Eichel to NY and we won't get a single useful piece back because idk, Jack may never walk again or something.

You're in Brooklyn, you know the Rangers only market to Manhattan. :p

Kakko
Eklund

I’d probably rather have McTavish or Wallstadt at 3 so I’m not all that high on Eklund either...but I’m just not sure Kakko will ever break through.

 

[Sabre Dance]

Dreger stated their could be a surprise team in the east who could trade for Eichel.

Oh now the drama begins. A mystery team. How exciting.

I work in Manhattan and my gf lives there

 

[markpenske]

Demands for the Rangers should be "fantastical".

It reminds me of when the Canucks traded Corey Schneider for 9OA. A team within their division said they offered a lot more.

I've really learn to hate the Rangers during this process.

 

[Jim Bob]

How will it surprise everyone if he knows?

Marner for Eichel [E2.75]

I figured, I just hadn't made a NYC joke today, so you 'won'.

 

[Dirty Dog]

The worst part about this is even if we get a fantastical return, we likely still lose the trade.

 

[Sabre Dance]

How much do you want to bet the mystery team city doesn't pronounce the letter R?

Rangers fans are some of the worst sports fans in any major sport. Right up there with Patriots fans.

They don’t have much to offer so I’m hoping it’s Carolina

When superstars get traded, you almost never win on assets received alone.

However, you do almost always win by being able to move on from the situation that caused the trade in the first place.

How so if it makes our team better?

Getting two or three good pieces in return to help fill out our awful roster is appealing as hell to me right now.

 

[tsujimoto74]

$0 because (1) HARD no to trading Jack within the division, and (2) Boston has exactly 2 pieces under the age of 30 with any meaningful value, and they're not trading either, so there's absolutely nothing to discuss.

Eichel to Tonto, e3. Ironically, Jack becomes The Lone Ranger on the Laffs.

Why do you think the Isles became my second fave?

because even with fantastical returns of young players or futures, there’s a good chance some just don’t pan out as impact players.

look, if Kakko turns into a first line winger, chytil is a top 6 center, and the prospect hits, then we come out good

I think it's even simpler than that.

If every player / pick received for Eichel ends up failing, but the TEAM start to improve by getting the situation behind them and growing what they have, it's gonna be fine.

(I'm not accusing Eichel of being THE problem , but he's at least A problem. )

 

[OkimLom]

I've really learn to hate the Rangers during this process.

It's the fans, not the team.

Don't let the fans make you think they know what the Ranger management team thinks. Just like I hope other teams' fans don't think us fans speak for Buffalo management.

 

[Jim Bob]

I wonder if NJ is the mystery team?

Hughes + 4OV and the Sabres take Luke…

 

[MayDay]

When superstars get traded, you almost never win on assets received alone.

I assume the notable exception here was the Lindros to Philly trade?

As great a superstar as Lindros was, the haul that Quebec/Colorado got in return set them up for multiple Cups, and they clearly won the trade. They still would have won that trade even if Lindros didn't have an injury-shortened career.

Marner for Eichel [E2.75]

Soo responsible of him. Cause everything else spewed out of Dreger and all these numbskulls pie holes has been verified
