Around The League 2021 season - part VII

Given how Dolan said they should be contending for cups right now I absolutely expect them to trade for Eichel. Just have to hope Buffalo takes them to the cleaners

Just when I thought the Rangers were doing a great job with their rebuild, they go and do something like this....AND TOTALY REDEEM THEMSELVES!

 

[Eggtimer]

Rag fans think a package of Strome Buch Chytil or combination of spare parts will land Eichel . I’m hoping like hell that both Kakko and Lafrenier will be going the other way or at least one of them plus someone good like K Miller or ? Please for the love of god I hope it’s not a bunch of crap and expendable players going out to return Eichel.

Neither Kakko nor Lafreniere will be in an Eichel deal.

 

[Better Call Sal]

Just further evidence that, hey, it can always be worse!

I cannot imagine being a Sabres fan right now.

 

[Devils731]

that’s a tough spot. Both sides want to follow their own medical advice.

I think for the sake of the relationship you need to let Eichel make his own call at that time.

 

[Darkauron]

What the f***??

 

[Devils090]

Buffalo is a complete joke, that franchise is rotten from the very top on down.

 

[Devils731]

Lawton is saying a player can make their. Hi ice but going against team medical advice can cause a contract issue.

If I’m Eichel, why do I care about that contract issue? I want to get healthy and leave Buffalo. I’m not worried about some bad blood there.

 

[Oneiro]

I wonder what team that isn't NYR could be in on Eichel?

 

[MartyOwns]

this has potential to get pretty ugly, it would be smart for all sides to shut up about it and let the process play out internally, especially eichel.

 

[R8Devs]

I wonder what team that isn't NYR could be in on Eichel?

LA has a lot of good prospects and an easier division so the path to the playoffs might not be as daunting as it would be with Pittsburgh, Washington, Carolina, and NYI in the division. So I think it'd be between those two. Maybe minnesota as well

 

[Hisch13r]

LA or Columbus maybe

 

[Oneiro]

LA has a lot of prospects and an easier division

I could see that but even with a decent performance this year, the timeline for competitiveness is just as long as BUF's. Eichel would be bridging two eras there. I could see a pretty complex deal going down with a more veteran team, facilitated by another team like us. Fitz's retention slot might end up being useful here.

 

[Devils090]

Hopefully someone out West, Calgary would be interesting since they really need to shake up their roster

 

[Oneiro]

Maybe Minnesota? Not sure they have the pieces internally but the average age of their roster makes sense.

I can't see that getting done without Kaprizov and they're not moving Kaprizov

Why would Minnesota be giving up Kaprizov if Rangers fans wont even offer Kakko?

Eichel is going to NY and its going to be for a more than Rangers fans like; on the flip side it still wont be what Eichel's worth

I didn't know Rangers fans are running the team now. I know there's been a ton of turmoil over there but I didn't know they went that route

The point is Kiril Kaprizov wont even enter the conversation while Kakko being untouchable for Rags fans is laughable

nobody knows what hell get, itll simply land in between those two extremes

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

in all seriousness, it will probably be something like Zibanejad, Chytil, Kravtsov and a 1st

 

[Triumph]

in all seriousness, it will probably be something like Zibanejad, Chytil, Kravtsov and a 1st

It will be lower than this. It's not going to be the total giveaway Rangers fans expect, but take one of these things out and that's what it is.

 

[Devils090]

Watch them be able to offload Kreider and his horrible contract

 

[Better Call Sal]

Eichel's NMC doesn't kick in until 22-23, so Buffalo would be wise to move him now regardless. The only leverage they have is that teams will likely line up to acquire a player like Eichel in his prime.

Would love for him to not end up in our division, but let's be real, the Rangers will likely offer the most attractive package.
