I actually think the deal being done for Zibaejad actually increases the chances the Rangers will trade for Eichel.

I can't imagine how that would be true. How could it be?

Start with Strome coming back to the Sabres for cap reasons and you're already halfway there in terms of dollars.

Long contract for a 29yr old

Surely. They are going to regret that one by year 6.

I'm not usually 'the waiver guy' but claiming Alex Barre-Boulet is a no brainer for this franchise. There hasn't been a guy I've felt this strong about in a long time.

Look at their cap.

https://www.capfriendly.com/teams/rangers

They have $19M to spend next offseason, if the cap does not rise.

Fox is their big ticket item, and he'll be in the $10M range.

Nobody else is breaking the bank.

The next offseason, LaFrieniere is up for a new deal, but the $3M+ in dead cap will be gone by then and the cap will go up as well.

If the Sabres take Strome and another $4M-$5M in other cap beyond this season, it can work for the Rangers.

Their top 6 would also be very strong: LaFrieniere, Kreider, Zibanejad, Panarin, Eichel, Kaako.

Well layed out but I don't think a team wants to be top heavy like that. If Laf isn't coming back I can't see them doing it.

don't know how good of a match cal-gary is, but anaheim has either zegras or drysdale that needs to be included...a top-3 protected 2022 first that shifts to a 2023 first as well...not sure what else

I have a feeling that 1st could be 2023 and with Calgary you don't like Zary

Has Dolan ever struck you as a patient man?
