This trade makes sense and is fair for both sides. Rangers get a young #1 Center while the Sabres get equivalent to around 4 first round picks. To get Eichel, YOU HAVE TO GIVE UP SOMETHING OF VALUE. The main piece going to Buffalo is Kaako. Kaako could be a franchise winger but Eichel is already better and is worth much more than Kaako. Kaako is also replaceable for the Rangers with Buch and Kravstov on the right side. Kaako could very well break out in Buffalo when he is given a bigger role. Strome has been playing good this year but if the Rangers trade for Eichel, they need to make space for him and clear salary. Strome adds value and would fill a center spot for Buffalo. Geogiev is a decent young goalie the Sabres could use, especially if Ullmark leaves. Rangers don't need him with Shesty as their goalie. Scheider is a decent defensive prospect but the Rangers don't need him with Fox, Lundkvist, and Trouba as the RHD. Sabres could add defensemen to their pipeline. The first round pick would be around the 10-15 range.

This trade makes sense for both sides because the Sabres get a ton of value for Eichel. If Eichel gets traded, the Sabes won't get maximum value because whenever a star player does get traded, the return isn't always as valuable as the player. Especially if Eichel requests a trade which is very likely. However, this offer would is very good for the Sabres and would help them in their rebuild. This trade makes sense for the Rangers because all of the pieces they are moving are replaceable. They aren't giving up too much as some Ranger fans might think.
