buf says no to literally every trade. does not help them at all

especially the Vancouver trade. absolutely awful for buffalo

Rangers say no. Kakko is essentially untouchable right now, we need his play on an ELC contract. (Lafreniere & Fox are the same thing, and Shesterkin & Miller might as well be)

Yikes to that Nashville trade. Laf > Kakko

Chicago says no.

To add to my above post:

Given that Lafreniere, Kakko, Fox, Shesterkin & probably Miller are untouchables on the Rangers, you're looking at 2 potential offers they might make for Eichel.

1. Prospects based: 2021 1st (looking to be top 10), Conditional 2022 1st (say NYR make it to ECF, otherwise it's a 2nd) Lundkvist, Kravtsov, Robertson, Buchnevich/Chytil, DeAngelo/Smith for cap purposes
2. Zibanejad-based: Zibanejad, Kravtsov/Robertson, 2021 1st Top 10 protected

This is what people fail to realize we don’t need Eichel. We can easily draft a center like Berniers or Johnson top 10 this year and they’ll be ready in 1-2 years. All our guys are still dumb young learning the game. Rushing the process would be a mistake.

LOL, no thanks

NSH would just lose Jokiharju in the expansion draft -- that would give them 5 D to protect. If they trade Ekholm, it's to get to a 7-3-1 expansion draft protection list (as well as retooling)
