Lest we not forget that Pat Brisson, I mean Darren Dreger said that there was a ton of interest in DeAngelo and that a trade was imminent
Unless Buffalo’s Price has come down (which it probably hasn’t), this is just Dreger tweeting out propaganda for Brisson

That logic makes no sense. Rebuilding teams are trying to acquire as much high value assets as they can, not trade them away for a win-now player. Contending teams trade valuable assets for players literally all the time.
Not to sure about that...switching agents so as not to have the same one as Drury could be setting up something

The impression I got from the plethora of summer rumors was that the Rangers didn't pull the trigger because the asking price was too high.
So unless that changes there's nothing to talk about. A NYR package of Strome, Robertson, Gauthier, 1st isn't gonna get the job done.

I firmly believe Drury wants Eichel and wants him bad.
but idk there’s just too many roadblocks at this point. The largest being Buffalo’s ownership does not want him traded here
The other thing is if Brooks/Vince is correct and Drury is deep in negotiations with Mika, if they get Eichel is the plan to just stop negotiating with Mika and say “we got our 1C, hit the road”
Would be a shitty move if they do that
Drury didn't facilitate the agent change though. Changing agents here doesn't really help if you want Eichel lol.

Could Eichel theoretically get traded and go on LTIR until the playoffs a-la Kucherov and the Bolts? If so I could see that be an enticing proposition for the "win now" teams, though they may lack the pieces to make it happen.
Imagine if the Bolts pulled that off again? Chaos would ensue.

How about we take Eichel for free (or Hajek) or we’ll stop subsidizing upstate NY with our taxes? There’s a good chance that just about everyone here has contributed to a Pegula enterprise along the way if you pay taxes in NY state but never received an equity share. Let’s play hard ball.

Believe Larry reported something to that effect, could be wrong but I'll have to check.

If the Sabres don't like the Rangers package, they will hate what the Bolts can offer.

Jones is certainly doing his part but I’d have to imagine Buffalo wants RD with Dahlin and Power on the left

If there is anything the Rangers can spare, it's a RD. From the reports earlier in the summer, they wanted a Laffy type prospect in the deal as well. Obviously a non-starter. If the return was around Nils and conditional picks depending on how Eichel heals from his surgery, I'm sure the Rangers would listen.

How are the Rangers affording Eichel and extending Zib? What salary is there to offset $10MM cap hit while paying Zib and Fox? Even if the Sabres retained some, it's hard to fathom it working out.
Trouba and Kreider have movement protection. Strome is off the books after this season already and his cap space will be allocated to the Zib extension or new Fox contract . Not trading Panarin.

Don't re-sign Strome and trade Trouba and Kreider in a couple years when their NMCs become partial NTCs. That will be when Kakko and Laf are due for raises after their bridge deals expire.
Jones can and does play on the right, but thats understandable.
I think we would be fine changing jones and lundkvist.
I'll take Eichel if they take Kreider.
They won't and he won't want to go but just throwing that out there.

Found it. From awhile ago but this is what Larry reported:

Would have to imagine that offer is off the table or at least modified now that the season is a week away and JE still has not had the surgery.
No it doesn't.
Having a direct line into Eichel's situation and then losing said direct line doesn't help lol. It's not a conflict, he either wants the player or he doesn't. Who represents the player won't change that.
There are going to be a shit load of conditional picks attached to this trade where ever he goes.
I don't think that the players discussed/involved on anyones end are really going to change. As far as I know, no team offered up their "A" assets.
