Speculation: Roster Building/Rumor Thread XVII

[Boris Zubov]

This is about as good of an offer as you can make (without including Kakko) for a team to have to beat it (as long as said player is healthy)

And it's still way too much.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

How tf am I supposed to focus on work today

 

[AirGut]

Yeah the whole Drury laughing seems to me more like he's laughing at the idea of even giving out any real info on what BUF and NYR are negotiating and offering. Drury runs a tight ship

 

[Boris Zubov]

Easily...nothing is happening.

 

[Doctyl]

Apparently it's not something the Rangers would do because they laughed at it.

If we laughed at that and we’re still the supposed front runner, this trade is going to have Buffalo fans on suicide watch

 

[RangerBoy]

That's.....random

The Tampa GM did offer up Coleman's rights in a trade.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Am I the only one who would trade Kakko for Eichel? 2nd overall franchise center for a 2nd overall franchise (Hopefully) winger

If I knew for a fact that Jack was healthy I would but I'm then giving quality so my offer is something like Kakko (headliner, and prob better than any prospect they can get realistically) 15 overall and someone like Jones or Robertson, maybe a B+ prospect or Georgiev too

It's like the draft the year of Ovechkin was drafted over Malkin, both are elite players but Malkin plays the more important position. Young center always trumps young winger.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Well… the draft tonight. So something will happen, even if it’s nothing crazy

 

[DanielBrassard]

I don't know if I believe it. All 3 of those guys are stuck low on the depth chat for the foreseeable future. With Eichel Chytil is a 3rd line center, Kravtsov might be a 2nd line RW, and Schneider or Lundkvist 3rd pairing D.

 

[TominNC]

Reinhart.

Reinhart is Chytil bad on faceoffs ost years.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Hopefully you'll be outta work long before the draft begins.

 

[duhmetreE]

Just spit ballin...

Say we trade for Eichel.. What does Mika get us back in trade?

There's no way he can stay unless Trouba or Kreider is moved

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Seravalli > Friedman > Da Goon > Dreger

You're neglecting the part where the Sabres are backed into a corner by a disgruntled star making 10M who wants out. Kakko is a non starter.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

It’s so hard to feel bad for Buffalo fans about the exodus that’s happening on their team when they say things like Fox (after winning the Norris two weeks ago mind you) is #2/3 defenseman and we’d need to add to him for Eichel

like what are we doing here? Lol

 

[TominNC]

I don't know if I believe it. All 3 of those guys are stuck low on the depth chat for the foreseeable future. With Eichel Chytil is a 3rd line center, Kravtsov might be a 2nd line RW, and Schneider or Lundkvist 3rd pairing D.

But they're in those spots because we'd have a damn deep lineup.

 

[Thirty One]

Seravalli > Friedman > Da Goon > Dreger

I agree that these are the top 4 insiders but I disagree with the order.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

I mean yes that plays a factor so it depends on the other offers, I'm just saying in a vacuum a HEALTHY Eichel changes alot of what I would offer.

Except schneider likely moves into troubas spot in 2 years when he can be moved.
Kratsov is a top 6 forward with first line potential. He might be stuck on the 2nd line because Kakko had even higher upside.
Chytil was one of the best players on our team at 5v5 when healthy.

I dont think it was laughing at players asked for, it's more asking for 3 of them plus a pick in the deal that they were laughing at.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

I really don’t want to trade Chytil. I think he’s poised to break out . Put Goodrow on his wing to take draws

Both will be on their way out in '23

They get back like 75% of the assets they sent out for Eichel, and flip those for roster pieces.

Not that much when he's demanding to be dealt & his NMC clause will kick in next summer. This is a giant clusterf*** that their GM seems to be overplaying his hand. Kakko will never be on the table.
