Chytil won’t be around

It'd be either Chytil or Nemeth.

I mean, if that’s all it took to get Eichel, don’t you think that trade would’ve been done already?

Not when 1 GM is playing hardball and posturing, trying to leverage other team’s “offers”. But not that we are the only ones left there will have to be some reality check or just hold onto him and that’s not going to go over well

If Chris Drury didn't explicitly reveal his strong resistance to trading Braden Schneider, then yes.

Won’t go over well with who?

Haha. Your 2023 7th rd pick is untouchable.

1. Won’t go well with JE and his camp
2. Won’t be getting a better return with a year or 2 off the contract(but also not adding the “futures” now means they also don’t get to build chemistry in that year with the team)

I’m not saying the package is 2 D prospects and there’s no choice in the matter. Just that it’s not going to look like the Kakko, Chytil, Schneider, 2 1sts that some are thinking

It is, he will be the next kucherov. No way I’m parting with the 2023 7th

If Jack doesn’t like it, that’s too bad for him. He’s under team control for 5 years. Ideally he gets traded, but you don’t give him away for the Rangers second tier garbage. If that’s the best anyone can offer, you sit on him. After this year, Jacks NTC kicks in, which is bad for Buffalo, but also for other teams. This is your last chance to get him. Otherwise, good luck finding a superstar

And you’ll always be that one piece away because you all thought kakko was untouchable. Lol

You know I was just joking around right?!

Kakko isn’t untouchable, the package that you’re asking for is. Kakko for JE straight up would happen, maybe a few smaller adds but not what is being asked for. Thing is we don’t NEED Eichel. Our roster is pretty amazing and we have future superstars already not to mention Zibby, Panarin and Fox.. Eichel is just the cherry on top, he’s not the sundae for us

Sure. But just don't go out of your way to shun Rangers fans as the dumbest fans in hockey. I would never call Schneider untouchable, but our GM doesn't agree with me.

About the pick? Yes. About the trade offer being a good one? I think you think that’s a good offer

Kakko for Eichel. Lol. Reality check. Laf and Kakko’s career points (3 years combined) still don’t match Jack eichel’s rookie totals. If you traded Laf and kakko for JE, you’d still win that trade.

The offer above won’t happen. It’s going to look more like at the very best

Strome
Chytil
Georgiev
Henriksson
1st
2nd

Whether it’s good enough or not isn’t for either of us to decide.. KA will have to make that decision and if he chooses to keep the disgruntled star then so be it. Whether I think that’s enough or not is completely irrelevant to whether it happens or not

You really are choosing to interpret things as you seem fit rather than at face value. I didn’t say that’s fair, I simply was saying he isn’t untouchable. And there, I provided an example of how he isn’t untouchable. That’s not me making a trade offer

What’s the ask? The only think anyone has reported is 4 first round equivalents. I think the realistic return should be a top prospect, 1 b level prospect, a ‘22 unprotected 1st, and a cap dump.

A few Buffalo fans reported that bit Kakko and Laf ++ was the original ask

I don’t think that’s been reported. I think that’s what people want it to be. That’s not happening. Now, should the rangers trade laf and kakko straight up for Eichel if that’s the ask? I say yes. You’ll still win that trade.

I could see this being close

It won’t happen. I think the offer we had last year included Laf too. Guess we will see what the final product is if it happens

No, it’s def not happening. I’m just sayin, you would win that trade. NHL GMs are the worst in sports. They overvalue bad dmen and prospects. All of em do it.

Thing is, Aristotle had bad analytics I believe but I always liked the way he plays. I’d want him all day on his contract. I think philly will be happy with the outcome even though everyone criticized it.
