Speculation: Roster Building/Rumor Thread XV

[egelband]

I heard today the following:

buch, chytil, Jones and 15 overall for eichel

strome for gio but this seems unlikely now after Seattle had him come on stage

also heard landeskog to the isles which I don’t see how in the world it works

I suggested this a couple days ago

I would have no problems at all if that's the package for Eichel. Thats the type of trade you talk about for decades if hes the same player post surgery or whatever he ops for

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

That’s an easy deal to make for Eichel if Buffalo accepts. Worst piece to lose there is Chytil but you figure you have assets to replace him somehow

Can’t imagine how Buffalo fans will react if that happens though. Might bring a tear to my eye

Do I know you? Lol

So Francis couldn't get a single side deal done because he set the price sky high like Vegas did. GMs learned and Francis didn't adjust. In the end, he avoided drafting the players he was asking for picks from teams for Seattle to take off their hands, out of spite, out of leverage in the future, out of holding onto max cap space and flexibility. He drafted the players he liked, period. Next will be doing the same thing every other team does, turning cap space into assets by taking on contracts and flipping them.

Literally several.

Francis is so clueless that I wouldn't be surprised if Giordano was traded tomorrow lol.

Kakko for Tkachuk trade. What’s your reaction?

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Kakko for Tkachuk trade. What’s your reaction?

Which Tkachuk?

 

[nyr2k2]

I'm not keen on Eichel at the moment, but obviously the Rangers wouldn't move to acquire him without being 100% comfortable with his medicals. They're not going to trade several big pieces for a guy they fear might be severely diminished or not able to play at all.

 

[IDvsEGO]

Kakko for Tkachuk trade. What’s your reaction?

first off which one. secondly nope.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Hall likely staying in Boston per Dreger. 4/24

The internet is such a stupid place.

"Why don't the insiders know anything?"

Insiders tell us everything. "Hey WTF?"

I will be eagerly reading their board with popcorn in hand.

I just find it interesting some had all the picks but no one hasn't anything in trades. Which there are definitely a couple.

 

[Hire Sather]

So are there side deals or not?

I feel like this is arguing with my ex with the samantics and technicalities

 

[Priorae]

We're not trading Kakko or Lafreniere or Fox for anyone not named McDavid. If we do its shortsighted.

 

[AIexisLafreniereNYR]

Which Tkachuk?

Matt Tkachuk.

 

[bobbop]

Nothing was expected from Carp.

But somehow, he gave us even less.

what an embarrassing tweet from carp Jesus

I really don't think the Rangers need Eichel and seeing Chytil blow up somewhere else would suck but if you can keep Nils and Kravtsov that'd be big.

Flash forward, as Eichel sits healing we learn the players surrendered for Eichel could have landed Barkov

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

felt like a logical place for him. I assume it takes them out on Buchnevich if they were ever really in there

 

[bobbop]

Yeah, Friedman said the Rangers and Kraken have been talking a lot and they are interested in Strome.

Can't see Dunn being what the Rangers are looking for. I'd sooner think Soucy or Lauzon.

Gourde for Strome

Rangers need some kind of long term 1C solution which is what Eichel would be (assuming healthy)
It's that or sign Zibanejad long term. I have doubts about Barkov being available and don't think you can pass on Eichel and signing Zibanejad only to have Barkov stay in Florida, then you're completely f***ed
