Look at this, thread started out contentious and now we're almost at a deal.



Quick, screenshot this and send it to KA and CD so they can see a deal can be made!

I think we need that salary retained, so that we can extend Zib.

I think the Eichel deal only makes sense for the Rangers if it allows the Rangers to keep Zib and have a 1-2 punch with him and Eichel.

Otherwise, it's essentially like we're losing Kakko, Georgiev, Nils, two 1sts, and Zib for Eichel.

Well, we can take some salary back if we can start talking about other picks/prospects you have? I mean, we have plenty of available salary cap.

What do you need for that? I mean, while we're on the phone.....

I think the current Rangers offer is pretty close to there, just with a downgrade in Nils/Schneider who are our #1 and #2 D prospects, to Jones who is our #3 D prospect.

I truly think Kravstov is similar if not better value than Chytil, but I would be okay with either going back in a package to Buffalo.

Who knows - maybe they can bridge the gap if they're this close already.

Listen I respect your willingness to eat a lot of poop with bad offers, but those two things arenā€™t close. Upgrading from likely an AHL tweeter to a likely bottom pairing at worst, and adding a center prospect likely better then Kratzov, with an additional first isnā€™t close at all. I respect it, but honestly Iā€™d take Brooks takes with a pile of salt. The guy is the worst. He pushed the ā€œreasonable offerā€ narrative so hard, and Adamā€™s basically said that the offer was a joke and nowhere near reasonable. Heā€™s a NYR mouth piece, and can kindly (frank) off

Buf says figure out your own cap. Not our problem. And if you want that retained add serious value. A late first 2 years from now, not serious

These are how trades work, you have your ideal package, the other side has theirs, and then you meet in the middle

I know this is everyone's favorite beat reporter but it should put to bed the notion that he goes somewhere and he's magically and instantly healthy again.

Except you asked for minimum and still have tried to barter down from there. Eichel can be a pissant all he wants. Getting an ROR return is unacceptable.

I started with Kravstov, Jones, Georgiev, and a 1st and am now at Kakko, Nils/Schneider, Georgiev, and two 1sts for Eichel with a little salary retained.

Garbage players? Have you seen the buff roster?

No way the Rangers would do this trade, Eichel not worth it

Maybe the doctors evaluated that this won't make it worse.

Remember, the Sabres sent him out to play NHL games when he was clearly hurt, so I do give the player some latitude in this one.

Yes, we're Buffalo fans. We're WELL ACQUAINTED with garbage players. Have been for 11 years.

So if we say they're garbage you can take that poop to the bank.

How about Eichel comes to NY and Saquon goes to Buffalo, fair?
