Take out Kreider, then it's a good trade

Kreider has a NMC and there's a 0% chance he waives

I agree, take out Krieder as he wont wave. I dont hate the offer. Also dont love it. But I think it works.

You are going to hate the Landy deal more than the Kreider deal in 2-3 years

It's weird that people post teams with no regards for the future cap space on a site called CapFriendly.

Good point. Unfortunately though, signing Landeskog means you gotta part ways with Kreider.

I don't think so. Kreider is exactly the type of player who you know is going to age bad, as he's heavy and relies on his speed.

Hey Rangers fans:

Stop sending your garbage to Buffalo for a top 10 player in the game. If your offer doesn't start with Alexis Lafreniere, it isn't good enough.

I think the Rangers shouldn't sign Landeskog. Just keep Kreider because both of them have similar playing styles

Yeah the Avs will probably offer Landy something like 6x7.5 so I don’t see that one happening. Also no way any top 6 veteran with a NMC-NTC agrees to waive to go to BUF in an Eichel trade especially if they have 3+ yrs left on their contract. BUF has got to be the least desirable local in the NHL right now.

This is a scary team that gets even scarier when you remember Gerrard Gallant could very well be the head coach of it next year

avs can offer Landy more than that, that wont do it to get him to leave the avs and hit the market, try closer to 10m to lure him to market

Zero percent chance of Kreider waiving his NMC for the likes of Buffalo, And Landeskog is staying in Colorado and besides he gets more then $7,250,000 try closer to $8,000,000 especially to sign in high tax New York State.

How are any of those players, other than Kreider, garbage? Buffalo is getting a king's ransom in the deal, a #1 center, a #2 overall pick, another good prospect in Lundkvist, A good goalie in Georgiev, who could be the starter if Ullmark leaves, and a 1st round pick to boot. This is a great trade for Buffalo, and I doubt you get many better offers than that. The one thing I would say could be changed is taking out Kreider for a Prospect, but otherwise its a great trade.

A #1 centre? Where? Strome is a #2 in New York and only cause he plays with Panarin. He's proved he's garbage with out him. He's no where close to a #1 centre.

That #2 overall pick has done barely anything in the league in 2 season. His value isn't high enough to be the centre piece of a deal for a player like Eichel.

Lundkvist is a prospect, he may work out and may not. There's no telling.

Georgiev is a career backup goalie at best. Buffalo already has a young goalie in their system who needs playing time that Georgiev should only hurt the development of.

It's a 1st round pick in a draft with so many unknowns that it has virtually the same value as a 2nd round pick.


It's a garbage offer. Eichel starts with Lafreniere or Buffalo hangs up. If you were a Sabre fan you wouldn't want this offer either.

I am a Sabres fan. They aren't #1 on my teams, but they are easily 3. And think about, Strome doesn't have to be a #1 center anyway. Reinhart can play first line and Strome on the second. Strome has some great skills, and just because he's playing with Panarin doesn't mean he won't do well in Buffalo. The "proven garbage without him" was when he was still developing, and has taken some great steps. Just because he was bad in the past shouldn't turn teams off, especially when you see he was developing. Kakko is 20, and has shown a lot of potential, and has had a better year this year. Just because he hasn't been a monster doesn't mean he isn't good. Yes, Lundkvist is a prospect, but he's one of the better prospect in the league and that is what you would get anyway in a trade for Eichel. It's not like you are going to get Crosby, Malkin, and Guenztel for him. Georgiev absolutely has starter potential, he's been passed up not because he isn't good but because Shesterkin is even better. He'd be a great transition goalie for the sabres before they get to Luukonen. Finally, I'd argue a 1st is even better in this draft. While we don't really know where people are going, it doesn't make it a bad draft and i'd argue its a deep draft, and picking in the mid teens give the Sabres a lot of options. Just because it doesn't have lafreniere doesnt make it bad, and the sabres wanting much more than just lafreniere in that trade is outrageous.

They really don't tbh. The only similarity is that they're both heavy. Kreider is a p*ssy who only shows up when he wants to.

Eichel starts with Lafrieniere.

And you really think Reinhart is gonna wanna stay if Eichel leaves? He'll be asking for a trade within seconds of Eichel leaving.

With the return from that trade and the new opportunity of being a 1st line center, I think he could very well stay, and even if he requests a trade the Sabres would be keeping him unless they get at least another 1C in return. And Eichel doesn't start with Lafreniere, no matter how much the Sabres want him. It's clear by how the Rangers have used him that he isn't going anywhere, even for a player like Eichel.

Almost all wingers signed to term as UFAs age badly. There are a handful of exceptions but they're rare

Find me a 32 year old winger not named Ovi/Kane you want to pay 7.25 mil too

If Landy signs for that money it will be a long way from the Big Apple.....the Mile High City.
