My cap for Dillon would be 4 years and $4-$4.5 AAV. Now of course you can have a team come in and overpay for him. And at that point we need to move on. But I am heavy on the Dillon train. Really want him and his makeup as part of this team moving forward.


Also side note, Frank Seravelli is saying Krug has turned down Boston’s latest offer of 6 years @ $6.5 AAV. Didnt want this guy before that and definitely dont want him beyond that. Just no.

Damn I like Krug but he's not worth 7-7.5 with that kind of term. I mean i'm suspecting that is what he will want if he turned down that offer from Boston.
 
Man I know Eichel is a special talent but like NYRangers0723 said I would rather not abandon what we've been doing.
I don't see how Buffalo would do it without asking for Mika plus plus back.

Bob McKenzie saying that Eichel may have requested a trade. Also says NYR have inquired.

Cue a boatload of nonsense about Eichel being a bad skater (he's not) and how he's actually the problem in Buffalo (lolworthy when you look at that roster and (franchise in general)).

On to non car related issues. I think we will get some news on Hank this week - likely after the "SC tournament thing" is over. I have heard - quite a while ago - that this issue has been settled between the parties.

What are we thinking? Trade or retirement?

But I was told the Rangers would never trade for Eichel, that it shouldnt even be brought up in the Roster Building thread just 2-3 weeks ago...

they shouldn’t. Giving up a huge amount of assets for a 10m contract is stupid at this stage.

also the tweets don’t say what you’re insinuating they say.
 
@bobbop - your thoughts on this? I know you've been very vocal about your stance on Eichel and how there is a lot the public doesn't know about him being a major part of the problem in Buffalo

That honestly scares the hell out of me. I love Eichel but cringe at the acquisition cost.

And I am not certain how “for” or “against it” I am to be honest because of the surrounding factors. Acquisition cost + Cap navigation now and in the future. It would likely mean the end of Zibanejad in 2 years when he needs a new contract.

I would imagine a package could include pieces such as Strome/Buch, DeAngelo, 1st round pick, and go from there.

But having a 1-2 of Zib-Eichel down the middle is a combo you can win a cup with.

Kreider, Zib, Trouba and Panarin got them.

…heck, Smith too.

ADA will too, likely.

Kreider, Zibanajad, Panarin and Trouba got them because they are established cornerstone players. Smith has a modified no-trade clause, not a NMC. Much different. DeAngelo can't get any type of protection for at least another three years.

It's either happening this summer or in the next 10 months. No chance Buffalo turns it around after cleaning house and cutting budget everywhere and no chance he stays if Sabres suck next year. I think he reports to camp but if they're 11-20-5 by pre-deadline, Sabres will start to negotiate league wide.
 
I just don't see how he would could bring in someone like Eichel without gutting what we've been doing.

What would that even cost? I would guess two roster players (one being Strome or Zib, probably Z), a good prospect, and a first minimum.
 
I don’t know how we’d get Eichel without trading major pieces in our current/future plans. But by Bob’s commentary, it seems Buffalo has no real reason to shop Eichel. Imteresting we were the only team mentioned.

What don’t they say? It literally says the NYR were one of the teams that called regarding availability...

As I responded already, I am not sure how I feel about it, but just because you dont want it to happen doesnt mean there isnt some truth to it.
