So here's your update for today:

Vegas pinged the Rangers last night and again this morning inquiring about ADA.

No, I don't have official confirmation on who they are targeting at this time but most guesses on here would likely be in the ballpark.

Glass and Krebs.

My brother threw out:

2021 1st (Lottery protected), 2020 #22, Chytil & DeAngelo

Overpayment? Fair Market Value?

ADA is on his way out anyway with Lundkvist a year away. Avoid having to sign him. Chytil would be a loss but you get a young elite center back to solidify the Top 2 lines. Avoid his RFA deal in 21. Upgrade there. Strome resigns on a 1 year and then you figure it out after. Resign Fast

Buffalo gets #22 in a deep draft, a 1st a young sizeable center who's developing nicely and a PP QB. Of course they would terrorize us for years to come.

The money would be a big problem going into later years with Panarin at 11.6, Eichel at 10, Trouba at 8, Kreids at 6.5. Then you would have to resign Zib long term (or let him walk, eeek.) Kakko & Laf thereafter. Who knows what Fox & Shesty will command after their RFA deals. You wouldn't be able to keep everyone.

Its fun to dream.

Replace Chytil with Eichel and you have a number of line possibilities but depth chart wise you have:

Panarin Zibanejad Buchnevich
Kreider Eichel Kakko
Lafreniere Strome Fast
Lemieux Howden/Barron Gauthier

Some nice talent there

Not enough and the 2021 1st wouldn't be lotto protected in this situation.

You’re just trying to get us to shut up about Eichel, I see your game :p

Haha.

Just trying to shine some light on the multiple conversations, some of which overlap on players.

In Vegas' case, they are rumored to be a team interested in making a run at Pietrangelo, but might want to explore alternative approaches.

In the Rangers' case, they're gauging what interest in ADA is post-finals.

ADA to Vegas for Glass/Krebs.

Glass/Krebs as part of the Eichel deal. Got it!

You might be able to negotiate one of Glass/Krebs, probably not both.

Do you know are there deals done that have been sitting waiting to be announced after the finals? Not just NYR related, but league wide? We all know the league doesn't want those things done during the finals, do you have a sense we will see some significant movement in the coming days or are we going to be waiting until draft night?

And personally between glass and krebs who is your choice if given the option?

can only hope there’s enough interest to send him packing

hopefully we can get Glass. That’d be a awesome.
 
1) Rangers trade Derek Stepan for 7th overall pick to choose Cody Glass or Elias Pettersson
2) Rangers miss out on Glass by one pick, choose Lias Andersson
3) Lias Andersson is disappointment
4) Throw-in to Stepan deal unexpectedly becomes valuable
5) Rangers trade throw-in to Stepan deal to get Cody Glass

So in a sense, we traded for Glass twice.

In hindsight Lindros wasn't as valuable as it seemed. He was injured like half his career

When he was healthy he was one of the best players in the game, and he still had a HOF career. He was by no means a bust. Injuries just really derailed his career.

Trouba was our best defenseman in this 'play-in' He showed up when it mattered. He had a gaf or two but it doesn't erase everything else.

This can be and is true without negating the fact that he is overpaid now and will be horribly overpaid soon.

No. The team is not a "one player away" team. Eichel's price will be fair, but this team is not close to being the type of team that can push their chips to the middle. Even with Eichel in tow

There are reasonable, foreseeable packages that would not involve emptying our cupboard. Not enough to pry away Eichel from Buffalo were they first inclined to try to hold him; but if they come to a decision that they are gonna need to deal him, either from his own desire to get out or due to team finances, the Rangers can put together an enhanced Nash-like package that would probably beat out any other offer, but without “pushing their chips in” either.

For example, Chytil, ADA, 22, and a future first, maybe one additional D prospect, something like that. Chytil is replaced by Eichel, ADA is superfluous anyway as you’ve already pointed out, 22/future first are intangibles.

It’s a lot but it’s hardly pushing all our chips in. We’d still have Lafreniere, Kakko, Kravtsov, Eichel, Panarin, Zibanejad, Kreider, Gauthier, Howden and maybe even Andersson to build around at forward. On D you’d still have Fox, Trouba, Lundkvist, Hajek, Robertson, Miller, Jones, Reunanon, Rykov.

And Strome and Buch would eventually be deadline trade chips to recoup the firsts you just parted with.

No brainer, really, though some like to be contrarian just for the sake of being difficult.

so if we are going to be talking about a fantasy trade for an elite center that will never happen....assuming similar prices (whatever that might be) would you rather try to get Eichel or Barkov? Keep in mind that in 2 years barkov will make more $$ than eichel.

Eichel.

Unfortunately he was paid as our PPQB 50pts #1-2.

Fox and ADA happened after the fact. We went from having nothing at RHD to having 'too much'.

I was cutting him slack due the fact he was traded as a pro for the 1st time. requested or not, family stuff and other things do take their toll on a player. I bet he will have a much better season. I bet he leads Rangers in points for defenseman next season.
