The Rangers say no

Buffalo should.

Buffalo says no.

Buffalo easily

No can afford the package for Eichel. He is stuck there and hopefully Adams can turn it around for his sake

NYR aren't dealing 2 studs @ 2M in a flat cap

<2 mil of cap for 10 mil makes this trade impossible

Both teams. Any Eichel to NYR trade would leave Buffalo with no center and NYR with a crippled core. It makes no sense for both teams.

This is a tough one. I feel like both fanbases would hate it so it’s probably a realistic offer.

sabres say no

The Rangers, without any hesitation

Rangers say no 1000x over. 2m for 2 more years under a flat cap.

Rangers in no way send #1, in any trade that doesn’t completely blow them away. The rumored price for Ottawa was tkachuk and 3rd overall. In an era of the flat cap, there is less than a zero percent chance rangers send the 2nd overall from last year plus the 1st overall this year.
You’d be looking at a return of kakko, kravtsov/chytil, 22nd overall, plus two firsts over the next three years.

You can also sub in some of the above for kreider, strome, or ADA.

What other team can give you (or would be willing to) even close to that value? It’s not a sellers market when it comes to eichel as no GM in their right mind would gut a team completely for one elite player. Depth wins, not singular talent. That’s why Edmonton still can’t win.
