Just imagine the main boards reaction If the Rangers get Eichel and Lafreniere in the same offseason... Lmao

True. But it puts the Rangers in a much better place when its time to negotiate that extension.

Calgary has a previously scheduled announcement coming up in 5 minutes. Could be jersey related. Possibly a reason that not much is happening on that front I guess.

and younger along with less experienced. Enjoy the ride (how many fans won’t panic? Lol)
I don't really see the incentive for the Sabres to move Eichel unless he low key 100% told Adams that he will not play for them next year.
I'd set our sights lower.

I wonder if they can work out a deal where Eichel can give the money back to Buffalo and the Rangers can then be the ones to give him the signing bonus for this next season.
No please. Two ACL injuries. Will age fast. Sure a terrific talent but you aren't getting him on the cheap I would think...
My bad the first was pcl and mcl from what i'm reading

but what is it? You’re not getting Eichel unless you trade the number 1 overall pick. It ain’t happening

and the Rangers board will be putting together offers for Barkov.
Eichel is a goner, It will happen in this or the nexr offseason. The sooner you trade him you maximize the return.
Unless, of course, the Sabres miraculous get better and start tô contend. I'm not betting on that.

People are concerned that we won't be able to afford Mika if we trade for Eichel. Is Eichel worth that much more than Mika that we should trade A- assets for the switch?
As the great and wise Johnny Lawrence once said:
"The best defense...is more offense."

It may be bumpy for sure but they will be a more talented group and the bottom 6 should be much better. I also think that having Igor the entire year can't be understated. What is JD supposed to say? We are going to be serious cup contenders? Of course he has to temper expectations. Lets see what happens the next 48 hours.

So it won't happen this season, It happens next. It could be with another team, but he will get traded eventually.
If Eichel has privately demanded out, then Buffalo will have to take what they can get. Rangers aren't going to include the #1 pick or Kakko.

I don't necessarily think that JE's salary and Mika's next salary are interlinked, there are many many factors at play.
I think the general rational is, if you ever have a chance to land a guy like Eichel(for a reasonable return obviously), you go out and you do it. You worry about cap juggling later.

for the majority of fans, i’d say he doesn’t have to say much. For the LOUD minority who go hyperbole without immediate gratification, yeah he has to say it.

I wonder if DQ has been in contact with Eichel at all. Not for tampering purposes, just in general I am pretty sure they talk.

Feeling it
I think any team who has a young superstar talent that requests a trade (if true, Eichel did it the correct way, not like Andersson did for the Rangers - and hell no obviously he isnt in the same universe as Eichel, but you get the point) is immediately screwed and likely isn't getting back complete fair market value.
Yes you have to give to get, but if the kid wants out you need to get as best a return as possible. From the buyer its much easier to throw money at a UFA and have them eat cap then deplete your roster and futures for a single player.

It's more than a one for one though.
It's trading for having BOTH of them for 2 seasons, insurance if Mika goes down/leaves in 2 years.
I don't see it happening since Buffalo already picked up that bonus, unless of course Jack said "I will never play for you again"
