Yeah, but look at the d¡ckhead who will be wearing them and ask yourself if he should be anywhere near an NHL team.

We all know the answer to that.

Funny thing is, there were people on hear saying we should have picked him up before NJ did last year.

So it seems your Risk Evaluation equation levels Possibilty and Probability as the same.
I would say
A) the probability of Sam getting hurt is rather significantly less than the possibility.
B) the probability of getting a better return at the TDL is rather significantly greater than the possibility.
When those two changes are factored in, it makes the move at the TDL a better move...although there is risk of injury, but it is low.

Furthermore, as soon as the 2021 draft choices were removed from contention...the urgency was also removed.

In summary, it is more likely he could have had a better return at the TDL.

Meh, whatever though. He gone.

It is impossible to know for certain if the return would be greater at the deadline. The trade of Reinhart now removed that possibility.

Reinhart also went on a shooting bender at the end of the year, odds are he doesn’t shoot 20% again this year.

Removing Sam Reinhart now also increases the possibility of Shane Wright.

I’d rather give myself the best chance of securing the top lotto odds then win a few extra games and get an extra 2nd rounder at the deadline that has low odds of cracking our roster full time in the first place.

With Buffalo’s luck, Sam shoots 5% like Hall did it gets hurt for all we know. What was the possibility of Eichel getting a neck injury last year ?

It is what it is.

Unfortunately for Buffalo, the absolute best offer they are going to get, period, is Kravstov + Georgiev + Jones + 1st.

Your GM can hold out as long as he wants, but no one is offering anything more than that.

Convince? It’s literal facts and published reports from hockey journalists.

no chance they let him go to the olympics and risk getting hurt

A healthy hockey player would be at very little risk .

Assuming its post surgery and rehab time.

Good news for us and bad news for you is if you are correct, we can just LTIR him and can say go ahead with your surgery. You won’t play a regular season shift but gear up for the Olympics. Then if he comes back full form, he’ll be worth quite a bit more than that. Rangers fans like you seem to forget he’s not UFA. Sabres getting clowned on but just maybe my plan makes a bit of sense and keeps him far the (frank) away from you guys. No offense personally but some of your Rangers fans are equally as bad as the ones of ours you think are unreasonable. He’s not yours lol, he’s ours.

It’s literally happening now. That rangers offer, as bad as it is, is the best reported offer thus far.

And the only reports from every other team that makes sense is “Team no longer interested in Eichel” or “Buffalo requested players X and Team backed out of trade talks as a result”

- rangerdanger94


It's pretty awesome that you have the inside track to every GM in the league and are privy to all calls to Kevyn Adams. How'd you get that job? Must be cool to know every single conversation that Adams has about Eichel with all teams. You would think every Eichel trade phone call would be private but I guess not! Congrats on your fulltime NHLinsider job and congrats on being "the source" for all things Jack Eichel. Bravo !
