Kravtsov isn't a center.
agree to disagree
eventually they will give him a shot there ESP if Zib cannot be had for affordable extension
Kakko - Krav - Panarin
that's the line I'm pulling for
Kravtsov isn't a center.
Neither is Barron. And listing both there while neither player is currently playing to position doesn’t magically give the team depth.
I guess. I just don’t see it though. If they were going to groom him as a C, he would be Anchoring his own line in Hartford as a 2 or 3 c so he could learn the position and start refining his skills. It’s very telling to me that they stuck him at wing and want him to get his minutes there. Especially if he gets a cup of coffee with the rangers this year, no doubt it will be at wingBarron at least plays part time C. Probably projects better as a wing though.
I really don’t think so. Disgruntled guys who carry a 10 mill cap hit for multiple years aren’t going to have a lot of dance partners. Even as good as Eichel is. Maybe Zibby is in the package going back with a prospect or 2 and perhaps a 1st. That hardly guts the rangers prospect stable that they have amassed for years. Especially now in the Covid cap era, there might only be 5-6 teams with the assets and long term cap room that can fit a Jack Eichel
We can put it hold until the end of the season and revisit it. It’s not going to be up to everyone in Buffalo when the Sabres fail to make the playoffs again, and their captain, who is already playing disinterested hockey and dragging his feet defensively forces a trade. Then we can revisit the situation. SureWhich is totally fine because no one in buffalo wants to trade Eichel anyways so lets cut this dance short shall we?

What are you giving up for Eichel?Rangers are in a turning point of a rebuild. They are the youngest team in the nhl with a top 3 prospect pool and depth at almost every position except center. Injuries might have cost us our shot at the playoffs, maybe not but the rangers are far ahead where buffalo sits now. I’m sure Eichel would hate to have Panarin or LaF on his left and kakko to his right . I watch a lot of Sabres games. Eichel looks likes he’s had it. These 2 franchises are at far different points, even if both miss the playoffs
Honestly who knows. Might not even be eichel. Could be barkov. I’d imagine it would be Zibby, prospect, prospect, 1st. It’s nothing I see happening until offseason at the earliest. Maybe at draftWhat are you giving up for Eichel?
He’s been pretty solid this year. Trouba and Miller are our number 1 pairHasnt Trouba been not so great?
Too big of a caphit.Wonder how available Toews is these days. Could be interesting fit.
Trouba is much better this year.Hasnt Trouba been not so great?
Kotkaniemi, Caufield for Zibanejad
There is not a single GM in the league, including the ones in Chicago and Ottawa, that would have taken Dach over Kakko and Stutzle over Lafreniere.Pointless in hindsight but imagine if they took Dach/Stutzle instead of the Laf/Kaakko. They'd be a nightmare to play against down the middle for the next 15 years
Agreed about lafranierre, not sure about ChicagoThere is not a single GM in the league, including the ones in Chicago and Ottawa, that would have taken Dach over Kakko and Stutzle over Lafreniere.
Prove it.Agreed about lafranierre, not sure about Chicago
Did I hurt your feelings? Didn’t say it was for sure, just said I’m not sure Chicago would’ve went for kakko. Didn’t say anything bad about him either.Prove it.
Dach wasn’t even the consensus 3rd best player in the draft that year. Everyone has Hughes and Kakko at 1 and 2 and some had Kakko at 1.
No feelings hurt here. I think you made an outlandish statement and should back it up with some facts.Did I hurt your feelings? Didn’t say it was for sure, just said I’m not sure Chicago would’ve went for kakko. Didn’t say anything bad about him either.
So how about you prove it.
Wow. Every draft pick goes by that list?No feelings hurt here. I think you made an outlandish statement and should back it up with some facts.
Here are some facts.
Hughes edges Kakko in TSN’s final draft rankings - TSN.ca
No but you should look up what the word consensus means in the dictionary. It’ll help your understanding.Wow. Every draft pick goes by that list?
