Speculation: Roster Building Thread - Part XXI

[WojtekWolski86]

Let’s please not will Eichel to NY in existence, come on now.

Technically Buffalo is in NY so it already exists.

I believe that was a joke about wedding crashers that went over your head, referencing smith's first off-season here when he had the four weddings and put on all the weight prior to camp from partying

Way over his head

 

[Kovalev27]

lol how is that different than every day the last 12 months? lol

well with what reports say about the healing timeline and the time of the off-season teams are usually finalizing their rosters and working on their rfas I’d be surprised if this went past this week. I can’t imagine a team at this point giving up 4 quality assets at this time of the off-season including roster pieces for a guy that won’t be ready to play honestly.

Feels like a now or never day on Eichel

Why?

[mas0764]

Carp just tweeted "Do not be surprised if Zibanejad is in any deal for Eichel." I think he is saying hypothetically, not that something is imminent.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Someone needs to remind Carp that Zibanejad has a NMC

Lol this guy is the worst

 

[TheKing30]

Go back to sleep carp

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Wow he is dumb.

 

[DialUp]

I don't care what instructions i receive from Carp. I'll be damned surprised and I'll be proud of it.

 

[HonestGabe]

He also wouldn't be surprised if we traded Strome for Giordano and kept Blackwell.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Unless he's using the word "Ultimately" to mean Zib gets traded elsewhere for assets and one of those assets is used to grab Eichel, then this guy is a dummy.

 

[Kovalev27]

Carp has embarrassed himself this summer. The Giordano thing now this? Should stay on vacation

 

[duhmetreE]

Can't stand Carp but I've always thought a 3way deal with Vegas could make sense.

Mika to Vegas
Eichel to Rangers
Picks/Prospects to Buffalo

It's a lateral move imo.. but costs us assets. Doesn't make sense to me. I'd rather just sign Zibs.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

I'm sure Zibby sees going to Buffalo as a great method to top out his production in his most important season of his career, peronsally and financially LOL

 

[JimmyG89]

If Hart is getting 4M, Shesterkin is 100% signing that 6M deal and it's a complete steal.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Can't stand Carp but I've always thought a 3way deal with Vegas could make sense.

The only way this makes sense is in a 3 team deal. Mika isn't waiving his NMC to go to Buffalo in his contract year.

A 3 way deal with Vegas and Buffalo, or maybe even Minnesota and Buffalo.

yeah but the sabres have no reason to just finally cave and take the best offer....so if teams aren't going to give up 4 quality assets that to me says that this isn't getting resolved anytime soon.

id do that but would the other 2 teams but I rather go for Larkin

until he gets surgery, nothing is changing.

That's exactly how I read it. Zib would go elsewhere, return assets which are flipped to Buffalo

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

I would say there is less than zero chance the Rangers move Zibby in the Eichel deal and risk not having a 1C at all next year. His surgery has a high % of success, but thats way too much risk for the Rangers to take on. It just would never happen.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

I have a hard time believing Mika would waive his NMC for Buffalo but stranger things have happened

 

[NYR Viper]

The only way that makes sense is if the Rangers trade Zibanejad for pieces and use some of those pieces to acquire Eichel. A 3-team deal similar to the Duchene/Turris deal.
