Good times when people didn't care what ek9 did off the ice.

Clearly it affected his on ice play.

Maybe get him back here for tank4.

If I’m Kevyn Adams I would’ve moved Eichel for the best package of prospects and picks I could’ve got. Then I would’ve used the extra cap space to eat some money and add to my prospect and draft pick pool. Speed up the rebuild with the most young premium assets I could get. Dahlin and Power are two young stud D to build around. Move on already.

What if the offers have been 4th liners and echl caliber players, would you still move him?

What GM out there would trade for damaged goods ? Adams couldn't trade an injured player, right ? Imagine the GM that trades for an injured star, and then the injury lingers and the player never laces up the skates again, or at the very least, his play is severely restricted. What would happen to that GM ? He would be FIRED.

The injury must be resolved, and then we can have trade conversations.

You face better teams this year. Much harder road to the playoffs than last year. Tough division and conference. Team just isn't good enough.
- RawDog



Go back and look at who they beat 1/2 of there wins last year were against NYI Boston Wash and Pitt so they have no problem matching up against playoff teams

We are in the same boat, and rowing the same direction!
Good post.

I feel decent that The Don can position it properly with him, and construct a decent line that maximizes the opportunity for the Org to reap the benefits by having Jack produce.

I know you're an optimist, I like the signings.

Tough division, seems like they signed some kids that can battle

Build up Rochester, slow down some of the kids from exposure to tank4

He's almost right. The contract is much longer and it's called a mortgage.

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?

- rangerdanger94


I think if the deal was LaFrieniere, Schneider, and a 2022 1st, the deal would've happened already, but Drury is trying to trade a few nickels for a one hundred dollar bill, as he should be trying to do.

On a cap dump from the Rangers, wouldn't that be Strome with his pending UFA status?

His wife said he threw games. I'm not sure I'm trusting a scorned person, man or woman though especially as the last 3 years have been his best.

NHL said they will investigate. That's not the same thing.

Unfortunately no team in the league will offer their best cost controlled prospect in the Eichel trade. That’s why the Ana, minny rangers and kings deal haven’t happened. I think if Eichel was healthy they would definitely include them. Most teams are probably offering their 2nd and 4th best prospect a 1st and and nhl player.

And Adams should commit seppuku before he was able to be fired if he made that deal.

Not trying to disagree with you, just going of what I was told when I had my fusion surgery and the different things that could happen. There's good and bad with each surgery.
