Yup, there's a new Sheriff in town. Watch out. He's banned like 12 people already today.

Eichel's point production post neck surgery has a small sample size too
- rangerdanger94


Currently 0. But pre-surgery nearly a ppg center for his career. You are buying the hopes and promises that returns. That costs more than a now repetitive winger in our system, the 3/4 best d prospect that probably won't make the show, a most likely at best backup goalie, who just requested a trade himself, and a late first.

Buchnevich would have been nice but Drury traded him for a bottom sixer and a pick

I’d void his deal and make him sit.
- dadeadhead


I would pending a bad outcome. A good outcome, I'd trade him to one of his least desirable places for 80 cents on the dollar. Tough poop mbumhole.

I wonder for how long. Is this a 1 year tank, try and get Wright then move on, or is the Bedard, Michcov draft the start date.

They did just draft every Russian possible so it begs the question I guess right ?

Unsure, but it's obvious that it's the plan at least for a year.

That's where I was at afterwards, they want to make sure if it happens that Michkov isn't the first Russian they drafted in a decade. But they weren't completely off the wall picks either. I can see either way.

Just read the last few pages and clearly you guys don't like the offers that have been floated out there (Kravtsov, Jones, Georgiev, etc.) and frankly I don't blame you guys.

I'm curious what package from the Rangers you would a) see as a win for the Sabres, or b) not be thrilled with but also could live with

Not trying to stir things up here just looking for a genuine answer from the other side. If you look at the Ranger's blog most people don't even want him unless its for peanuts which I think is unlikely, but I also think some of the other deals i've seen (Laf + Kakko + picks) are obvious non-starters for the Rangers. There's gotta be something in the middle where both sides are upset

Some of them said they would consider Fox + Laf + 2nd

For sure. I just wonder if they're dead set on going further. 36 pointed out the Russian draftees which is one point. Does KA have 2 more full years of tanking type of leeway with Pegs though? I'm not so sure we can be this bad in 2 seasons with him still being looked on kindly. Weird place to be.

I'd prefer a top 1C, but Fox is a very close second to that.

any trade has to start with Laf, Kakko or Fox, then add from from here.

For me I would like Laf, Georgiev, Mika Z and 2 frst rounder's, then I can flip Mika at the trade deadline for more picks or a younger center. We will even take a cap dump for you.

I'll give you a second rounder for both Kravtzov and Georgiev. It will most likely be in the early 30s. I can throw in a 6th, with your favorite.. Retention. I want half retention on both for the their current contracts. Send it in, think we got a deal.

Not trying to stir the pot either, but personally I don't think the Rangers are the best partner. The Rags have plenty of talent, but when it comes to prospects (what the Sabres want) other teams are offering some bigger names reportedly. Zegras is an example of a guy who, at least to me, is a higher quality player than anyone the Rags are offering. 1st rounders are nice, but being that they'll likely be in the 20s, they are far from sure bets.
