WAAAAAAA!!!
how much money do we save buying him out vs 50% retained? I also wonder what % we retain to equal the cost of the buyout. Because if you retain at that %, even a 7th round pick is net positive.

I never said he was. Look, it's going to be impossible to find an EXACT match for those 3 players. Adding Chytil makes a lot of sense of Buchnevich is the big piece.

It's all so tiresome
I think they have more of a need at RD. Miller and Ristolainen aren't going to be there past next season at the latest and on LD they have Dahlin, Samuelsson, Bryson, and likely Owen Power. It's why I think it's more likely to be Schneider or Nils, hopefully not the latter.

Even that is too much. Lindros I still think had the "he was a generational, McDavid-level talent," stigma attached to him. Eichel has never been that highly regarded.
I'm beginning to think the Mark Stone for Erik Brannstrom template may work for Eichel. There were fillers in that deal but not much of significance. A second round pick and Oscar Lindberg went with Brannstrom to Ottawa for Stone.
So like Nils Lundkvist/Braden Schneider, a second and Brett Howden maybe. I would prefer Schneider sent out.

I don't want the team to trade for Eichel anyway. He's not physical, not particularly good defensively, he's fragile as all get out, and we can't afford to have big dollar contracts at every position. I want the team to go out and find a mid-20s Brandon Dubinsky type for the third line, and ice Zib--Chytil--Dubi-Type as our 1-2-3 centers.

Frankly given how low his stock is sinking I think I risk the NMC kicking in and hoping he gets healthy and his production improves, then try again.

That’d be great and is definitely possible, but that doesn’t mean he’ll be better than CK as a net front PP man in particular. He’s a smooth passer, should be playing the boards on a PP
I would too.
Of course he could get hurt again or completely Hall out next year and tank his value completely, but if there is any chance at getting a real return back this would probably be their best course of actio.

I just have zero interest in Eichel. Between the injury, the cap hit, and the cost, I don't see any of it working out well for us.
I know he's a young player, but until we know the extent of the injury and if it's something he can make a full recovery from, that's a hell of a commitment I don't want to make.

I hate to say it but I think any deal has to include Chytil. Plus one of the D prospects, and as I said before Buffalo has a bigger need at RD so Schneider/Nils, 15th overall obviously. I think we could see Geo thrown in there, he's still pretty damn young and while he struggled a bit last season should have value.
Chytil
Schneider/Lundkvist
Georgiev
1st
Perhaps another piece.

My guess if it were to happen now and he ends up here. I never bought that the market for him was going to be as hot as some thought or Sabres fans hoped it would be. All this information coming out now really just confirms that (especially if they're going to try to move him by the draft, which is a month and a half away. Sounds like they just want this to be over.)

I actually think Strome would be an interest for Buffalo in an Eichel deal. He’s signed for 1 more year, he can pass as a 1C on a garbage team, and they can trade him next deadline for at least a 1st if he produces half way decent.
wouldn’t rule it out

You're going to be in a tricky situation there because if it's that NYR then have to trade Buchnevich and Strome in separate deals without taking much cap bac, which will be hard.

Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if that was the deal but man his value has eroded so quick so fast you wonder if Drury could get away from this without including Nils.
NoQuitInNewMexico
it's okay cause it's all just the way it should be
For the New York Rangers Twitter Kremlinology guys (maybe just me)

If we deal Chytil, then aren't we back looking for another C, particularly after we likely need to part ways with Mika at the end of his current deal?
Oscar Lindberg

You guys got it all wrong, the young center to be included in this deal will be Howden not Chytil.
Especially if Quinny is going to be the next coach in Buffalo lol
