Very much he is in the conversation as a Top 10 C in the league.
Agreed top 10 but not top 5.

There is a clear difference between first line PROSPECTS and first line PLAYERS. Buffalo is going to get several top tier prospects in any package.
There hasn't been a legit franchise center in their prime of Eichel's ilk traded in....15 years? Buffalo has no NMC/NTC to deal with, just a large cap hit.
The return is going to be massive. A level prospects. Picks. Players.
You conveniently didn’t mention that in all but his first season, he played at almost a PPG. He was also on pace for 94 points last year.56,57,64,82,78.
Those are Eichel's point totals for his five seasons.
Thats a good player, a #1C. But not elite. He's 24, on his 6th NHL season, and he has yet to reach his top potential. He so far hasn't earned the "Franchise" label.
well, interested gm of teams, for which eichel wouldn't lift his nmc, should act before the nmc kicks in to get him. and if you are a gm of a preferred eichel destination shouldn't you act before those other gm's?Sounds like you should keep Eichel.
Then I remembered he wants out and has a 7.5m signing bonus and an NMC that kicks in on 7/1/22.
That’s exactly why every GM will wait this one out and force Buffalo to take a return that fans won’t like.
that seems to be you. nmc doesn't stop you from pushing a trouba trade.some people apparently refuse to pay attention.
First, Panarin has NMC so even if we would consider dealing, that's a no.
love the double standard here after reading some of your own and plenty of other nyr fans trade proposals.Second, NY is not here to bail out other teams on their problems unless they get a fee or other profit for their trouble.
but still make it in every bern trade proposal: buch, strome, ada, trouba and the return are always picks, prospects and young pro's on elc.Players you referred to as 'trash' are good assets who have become/are becoming surplus in Ranger land due to emerging elcs/rfas.
new jersey has no trouble to part with zacha for eichel, if he can be considered the main piece in the trade. but buffalo would want hughes and might consider hischier as the main piece.Apparently it's spare parts when the Rangers leading scorer is part of the offer. Funny.

Oh, you do? Thanks for letting us know.I am encouraged the hard cap reality will save us from this.
It would be closer to
Zib + Buch + Strome + possibly taking on Skinner at 6.5
but as I said, we would prefer Dahlin for cost control purposes.
The other aspect is we sell the above guys a la carte.
If Eichel ever gets to NYR it will not be for at least 3 yrs after we may be able to move Trouba

What is this nonsense? Have you seen our left side of the defense? Why are we trade Dahlin if it's not a huge overpayment?Dahlin may have to be sacrificed to keep Eichel.

DeAngelo would be part of your preferred return, I assume?
Yes, this is nonsense, we do not trade Dahlin, and I am already mentally prepared for Eichel trade and some restructuring.It is not nonsense.
Either you have a problem or you don't.
Eichel may bolt, you have a prob.
To solve the prob, you need an internal or external solution.
Can you deal internal assets [other than Dahlin] to get substantial signif improvement that keeps Eich, extends Hall, and helps Cozens??
No, you do not have signif other options.
Sure, rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic, it could help.
but that is help, not overcome your probs.
Have I seen your LD?
Yes, and I agree it is not pretty.
But cap relief on Skinner retained and moving Hutton plus Zib + Buch + Strome is signif help to F group.
Pray your emerging RDs are best case scenario, then try to get lucky w/a LD here and there.
Although I like some of the pieces (not for Dahlin) there is one significant part you added that won't happen,extending Hall.Either Reinhart or Hall not both will be extendedIt is not nonsense.

Agreed. Eichel isn't going to NYC.
Wheres the damn clap emoji?!?Eichel is not going to NYC? I’m sry you’re struggling but i do believe you need to come to grips that Eichel, like Laaafontsine and Drury, will at some point become a NY Ranger. Everybody deserves to be a Ranger!!!! Everybody
See we like to collect names. Did you know the top 3 scorers of all-time were Rangers? Yup.
#1 scorer of all time, #99 was a Ranger.
#2 scorer of all time, Jagr was a Ranger. Apparently he’ll never stop playing so he might return
#3 Messier and we won one Cup in 81 years with him.
#6 all time Marcel Dionne made the trip East. He didn’t do much but it was a dream come true
#10 all time Phil Espo. Love the Bruins but i’ll wear the Rangers sweater if you pay me. He also became our GM and traded our highest pick in years for head coach Michel Bergeron only to fire him before the playoffs so he could coach and fail
Around #16 is Bryan Trottier and he couldn’t skate anymore so we gave him his first and only head coaching job. He lasted 54 games
#21 Jari Kurri was about to retire but we felt if he can skate he might as well be a Ranger
#22 Luc Robataille was quite a find yet he stopped playing in Ny so we traded him for Former Penguins all-star Kevin Stevens who stopped playing too (or maybe it was Stevens for Robataille? Tough to remember b/c we had so few memories worth keeping
Please don’t drift away and let me lose you now b/c
#26 all- time scorer Brendan Shanahan was also a Ranger. He didn’t do much and it a bit forgetful b/c
. . . The Flower!!!! #27 all-time scorer Guy LeFleur had never spent much time in NY so he figured, why not become a Ranger?
#31 Mike Gartner tormented us but we made him a Ranger only to ship him out for Edmonton’s all-time great Glenn Andersson
I might be boring you at this point so let me quickly add the names Eric Lindros, Pavel Bure, Theo Fleury, Steve Larmer, Bobby Holik, Marty McSorley, Kevin Lowe, Craig McTavish, and more come
Add the above up and we have one Cup at the cost of almost a billion dollars
So think again when you post that Eichel isn’t going to NYC. He might be 34 years of age when it happens but he’s coming. Everybody deserves to be Ranger
Smh - this blanking team
I second this.Dear Sabres Fans,
We’re sorry natural selection hasn’t killed all of us. Most of us realize there’s no chance we acquire Dahlin without serious consequences.
Eichel might become available at some point — and his value could range drastically. But none of us are dumb enough to assume Dahlin is on the table for the mighty horse shit that’s being presented for his services.
We will not pass Go. We will not Collect $200. The entire NYR fanbase is collectively sorry one of us was foolish enough to even ask about Dahlin.
