More than likely you're right.

But I just hate to say NEVER...


Side note:

I said two things:
1. I'll never work in construction project management.
2. I'll never work for Amazon. (I was a vendor for them. Provided their forklift telematics).

I now work for the organization that launches all the new Amazon FC's which is in there Engineering Services (construction) organization as an Amazon employee.

Anyone living near Clay, that's one of my FC's. I play a SMALL part in the overall building launch.

But I'm doing something I said I'd NEVER do. And it was EMPHATIC when I said it.

Let me know if you need Cranes for those construction projects...

It’s risk reward. High risk high reward.


I would want him, but for the right package.

The Kravstov + Jones + Georgiev + 1st is something I’d feel comfortable with, if the Sabres are willing to retain 2-3mm per year of his cap hit.

So you offer a C tier package for Eichel and you want Buffalo to eat salary.


As I said before

You can see your way out.

Understand that, wasn't taking a shot at you. But if his doctors are saying that it probably is maybe he's ready if everything absolutely goes right and they just felt like tweaking it to make it look better.

The difference is I don't have a contract signed in place to own the house for 5 more years.

I get that but what I meant is its too late to expect him back in the Sabres dressing room again. The relationship between him and the club is beyond repair.

The package I listed is literally the rangers #1 prospect, #4 prospect, and a potential starting goalie as well as a 1st round pick.

And the #1 and #4 prospects are NHL ready.

Spare the hyperboles

It’s not a good package, and calling Kratzov an untouchable is laughable.

Yea good for them, and good for you. Suggesting that someone who isn't vaccinated is a hindrance to the Healthcare system is absurd and pompous my guy. Surprised you can even see us down here.

I think it’s more similar to Cozens + Ruotsalainen + Ullmark (assuming he was a RFA) + 1st

I wouldn’t consider him a prospect since he’s played a full season already

No no it’s clearly the guy who had half a decent season in the KHL and had done nothing before.. because I was told on hockeybuzz. Now retain on Eichel and they MIGHT have Kratzov be the main piece.. maybe.

just stating the latest facts concerning hospitalizations due to covid...it's been reported that over 97% of hospitalizations are due to those who are unvaccinated...my brothers friend was hospitalized with covid and double pneumonia...he was unvaccinated...

has nothing to due with perceived pontification

Again, what’s the alternative? Get nothing, ruin the culture, ruin the franchise reputation even more?

I just think you are overestimating the leverage Buffalo has.

Unfortunately he’s considered a prospect until he reaches the amount of games played where he becomes waiver eligible.

Not trading him for a sh!t package is the best option.

What package would you realistically want from the Rangers?

Would something like Lafreniere + Schneider + 1st be enough in your eyes? What's the absolute minimum you'd want?
