Rangers Backup Plan for Eichel is Tarasenko. The price for Eichel is incredibly high...One team, says it 2X too high. The Rangers are looking to add a BIG name. If Eichel falls off their radar, expect Tarasenko to be their next shot

Drury is looking to keep his time in that position as short as possible.

So if they can't acquire a 24-year old 1C locked up for 5 more years...they will shift focus to a banged up 30-year old winger who is a UFA in 2 years and has played like 30 games in the last 2 years.

Totally logical.

Hearing something very different, Eichel going to LA in a three way trade including Seattle

To be clear though, I'm not an insider. Ek obviously heard this from one of his sources. So it could happen. Will be funny to watch Buchy outscore Tarasenko though.

Ek-no way. This is not Phil Esposito at the helm. It's not about a big name. Tarasenko doesn't fill any of the Rangers needs. Yes, he's friends with Panerin. Yes, he's a big name. Rangers want to be tougher to play against. They want to get better at center and add a veteran left defenseman, probably to play with Nils Lundkvist.

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ a team that’s loaded with better wingers is going to trade for a washed up winger when they need a center .

So far Drury is 0-2, blew the Buchie trade and then the pick! This smells of Sather who will drag the Rangers down. He never forgave and willl never forgive the Rangers for cutting him back in the day. Very disappointing so far and if by some chance he trades half the team for a injured Eichel then he should along with Sather be FIRED immediately

I say the Blues retain 40 percent of Tarasenko salary, and also send Zach Sanford, a bag of pucks and a 2nd rounder. The blues get Kreider to play with Pavel.
