He said low floor btw
- gerbe75pts

I know, and I think his floor is never becoming an NHL’er.

He’s a mid-first rounder who was sort of a reach, and played very little in a lot of games last year

I don’t hate the pick like I hated the Quinn pick, but having an Ennis career would be about average for a mid-first, I certainly wouldn’t say that’s the floor

Zib has a NMC so it would have to be a flip there

Make it an unprotected 1st from the Rangers and flip Zib to a contender for their 1st and a prospect and then you have one helluva return for Eichel.

No way the Rangers agree to it though...

He's a career .5 PPG player with 300+ career points.

Honestly that's what you hope to get out of most picks beyond the top 10

Convince Zib to come to us and play out his last year, Tell him we will trade him to a contender at the trade deadline, then over the summer he can resign with the Rags. Win, win. Plus we could prob get another 1st or really good young prospect for Zib at the deadline.

I think that is a very fair trade.

If the Rags won't give up LaF they sure as hell aren't doing the rest of it.

The last couple days the ranger fans have been blowing up our comment sections dragging mud everywhere. It got fairly obnoxious. All I’m saying is you were warned lol.

So who wants to see Adams hold tight on Eichel??
Are we lowering his value the longer we hold him if he isn't getting the Surgery??
Get him to sign a waiver, and let him have the Surgery he wants. At this point it doesn't look like it is gonna happen unless he comes back from it.

You have Zibanejad criminally underrated if you think we would get all that while having Mika Zibanejad coming to us.

Mika is an interesting thought.

Maybe after this season tank4

Instantly add some veteran leadership up front with eichel gone. 1C material

5 million a year looking for a raise , might be tough for ny rangers to fit all these guys under the cap.

Zib, Laferierre and I'm happy with a 2022 or 23 1st rounder. Add a small camp dump or retain a bit if eichels salary.

You have Eichel underrated if you think these aren't the packages Adams should hold out for.

Yes a youtube clip of top plays is a great barometer of a player. You arent getting laffy and a first if mika is traded. As bad as the ranger offers have been, this one is worse than them.

Not a chance in Hell they will get LaFreniere or want a 28 year old soon to be UFA if he would even agree to come here which he won't. Kakko would be a main piece. I don't want the Rangers as the trade partner personally.

Mika is criminally underrated and there's no way you're getting all that. They want to re-sign him.

3 weeks and I’m running the place with the opportunity to get a percentage over time.

I would still love to do a deal with Anaheim. They have top-end prospects beyond Zegras and they will suck again so their 1st round pick will be high. They would be crazy to give up their first next year in the deal though so they would probably never do it.
