I am no longer sure I want Eichel because of his neck injury and I don't know its severity. However, if its not a serious long term health problem --- how is this insane?

1. First round pick this year
Rangers have had the most 1st round picks in league the last 3 drafts

2. First round pick next year
With Eichel, we shouldnt have to worry about lottery protection --- pick should be in the 20's

3. Eichel replaces Chytil

4. Buch best player being traded away in the deal. Alleviates our log jam at wing

5. Georgiev is a quality back up, but not a deal breaker

6. Robertson is a good player but not a top 3 defense prospect

We get the best player in the deal ( assuming he is healthy ). I would do this deal if Rangers really want Eichel! It seems excessive at first glance because it is 6 for 1 but upon further inspection, its 6 dimes for a dollar!

I think that's a pretty good way to look at it. But with Buchnevich at near a PPG pace it's hard to also include him along with 2 firsts. I guess we'll see what happens.

Anytime there is a chance to throw a seinfeld reference out there I have to.

Oh yeah, no doubt I do Chytil, a d prospect, a first, and a throw in like Georgiev. Does the $ work in that type of deal?

Zac Jones looked outstanding last night. Granted it's against college players, but he was EASILY the best player on the ice. From a skill perspective and IQ. Adam Fox lite is a good call, though his defensive game isn't as good as Fox. He could be a killer third pair guy for us.

Zac Jones is the absolute REAL DEAL

if he's used as trade bait, then it better be good

I thought he would be a bit more finesse than grit, but there is absolutely a bit of dirt bag in his game. I can't find a clip, but he steamrolled someone last night. We're talking open ice, two feet in the air leveled. For all those concerned about his size

I can't wait for the deadline, if for no other reason than to be done with all this Eichel talk. I know I've made my opinion quite clear. But, I wouldn't want him even if you removed lines 1 & 2 from that package. IMO, his personality detracts from what we have built to date. We're not some team in dire need, desperate to make a single playoff push to stave off bankruptcy or a move to a new location. We have build 90% of what it takes to be a perennial contender with an outside shot at a dynasty!!
Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to take my Kool-aid and get some work done.

This. He is not worth blowing up assets. The loss is greater than the gain if you ask me.

I was extremely impressed with his game also. I see the Fox comparisons as legit, with a few exceptions. Fox has a pretty weak (but effective) shot. Jones absolutely sniped one which we haven’t seen Fox do. Also Fox is a little more subtle and methodical, while Jones plays a more aggressive game. The left side for the Rangers seems open for Jones to grab a spot, it’s the right where somethings gonna have to give here pretty soon.

#NYR Eichel offer

1. NYR 1st round pick 2021
2. NYR 1st round pick 2022 (lot protected)
3. Chytil
4. Buchnevich
5. Georgiev
6. Robertson

This is going to be final guess based off what I heard from source and my own opinion on current value of players.

Not guna lie, I’m HUGELY against an Eichel trade....however if this is what it cost? Sign me up. Just make sure that 2021 pick is top 5 protected. I could careless if next years is

I think a lot depends on where exactly our first round pick this year ends up, it's value if it ends up like 13th isnt nearly as much as if they get into the top 10 again

IDK. I don't even care who the pieces are. I don't think Eichel is a 6 asset guy. And, since we are far from desperate, I feel like the price should drop even further.
We need a center. We don't NEED Jack Eichel. If they can get him for a song, I understand. Even though, I still don't like him or want him.

Let's see if he stops the first shot from the point. I am going to look away like a kid at his first horror movie.
