i mean to extend Mika is going to cost about 9.5 x 7 to start the conversation (you have the guy who just signed Trouba and Kreider doing the negotiations so any notion of a "home town deal" is a ****ing joke) So the cap hits between Mika and Eichel are negligible long term.
As for the offer, Eichel's cost is what 4 1sts. Trading Mika to a 3rd team nets you at least 2 1st equivalents, and then add like Schneider and our own 1st and that should get you Eichel.
So the question now becomes "Would you pay a 1st and Schneider to swap the value of Mika's age 30-36 seasons for Eichel's age 25-30 seasons"? If you know anything about aging curves, that's a rhetorical question. So yeah an Eichel trade makes a lot of sense for the Rangers. Fortunately the price is going down not up.
