    Florida has some good prospects like Tippett and Knight but overall their forward group outside of Huberdeau and Hornquist isn't anything great. I'm not saying they'll trade him before he hits FA, but i'd be a bit surprised if he stays there long term. They aren't winning anything with a 33 year old Bobrovsky and their forward group.

    They have a lot more talent then you are giving them credit for. Bobrovsky is insignificant. Knight is about ready. They aren't far from being a cup contender.

    Florida will have a good chunk of cap space in 2y so maybe combined with no taxes he decides to stay. The Rangers will have the better roster, especially defensemen wise by then.

    Rangers don't have room to add mega contracts. They are going to have to pay Shesterkin, Fox, Lafreniere, Chytil and Lindgren sooner than later. Not to mention what Buchnevich will want. You can't just keep adding 10 million dollar players. It doesn't work that way.

    The Rangers absolutely have room to add a big contract. They will have 30 mill of cap space this summer after the DeAngelo buyout. And those kids are not all due raises for a few years, and even then they won't go from 900 K to 5 mill. Plus the cap will go up at some point. Maybe 2 more flat years, but evenetually it will go up.

    A look at the Blueshirts cap situation next season has them with what is expected to be over $31 million after the buyout. There will be work to do such as signing players like Pavel Buchnevich, Ryan Lindgren, and Igor Shesterkin. However you can already see the cap space to add a big contract in the summer via trade if they choose.

    Eichel out for the rest of the season with a herniated disc in his neck that will require surgery. I stay away from him at this point and look elsewhere for a center. Make another call to Detroit for Larkin who could use some young prospects. I still think the more I see him play with his size, speed and passing ability kravtsov can be one of our centers!

    I hate to say it but I yeah, have to cross off Eichel as a possibility for the off-season. Having traded Mantha, unloading Larkin for a large haul is not out of reason for the Red Wings to consider. I still would prefer Barkov though.

    I wouldn't flat out cross Eichel off. What I would do though is make sure we are able to do a full medical review before we make any moves. We need to do our medical due diligence, that's how I see it. Maybe that leads us to say no way, off limits, or maybe not, but I let the medical review drive that.

    With regards to other players, I think any top level C who may even be remotely available is on our radar. It's the right move and right focus I think. I am sure Gorton will be all over it focusing on adding what we need to take the next step next season.

    The Buffalo Sabres announced Jack Eichel will miss the remainder of the season due to a herniated disc in his neck. He is expected to make a full recovery and be ready to play next season.


    There is no mystery, that the Rangers are planning on going after a big name this summer. Primarily a stud center to take the team to the next level of contention.

    Another well known secret is that the Rangers covet and want Jack Eichel. The 24 year-old who played for David Quinn in college would be a perfect fit for the team. It remains to be seen if the Sabres will place him on the market. However, they were reported to be laying the groundwork at the trade deadline for this summer.

    Should the Sabres opt to not trade him, although there’s already plenty of evidence they will, the Blueshirts will have other options. Some names expected to be shopped are Aleksander Barkov, Evgeni Malkin, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Evgeny Kuznetsov, and possibly Sidney Crosby.


    Larkin has two more seasons on his deal that comes with a $6.1 million AAV. The 24 year-old center has 22 points in 40 games this season. This needs to be taken with a grain salt considering the team he plays for doesn’t have a ton of high level talent. The kid did have 73 points in 76 games in the 2018-19 season.

    Bottom line here is simple. If Dylan Larkin and Jack Eichel are both available this summer it is to the Rangers advantage. Jeff Gorton can actually pit the two teams against each other in driving down the package. As always, the market will dictate with the laws of supply and demand in full effect. If there aren’t too many buyers for a center and there’s that many available, Gorton is in the driver’s seat.

    I think Detroit will extend Larkin to stay and grow with their young talent since he's only 24. On our end, Chytil would likely be in any package so that's one less name to deal with on the cap.

    Yea Barkov is a very good player. Weegar is pretty good on the blue line too. I like their depth with Vatrano and Bennet

    Detroit is entirely too stupid to trade Larkin. They will suck for years and pretty much waste his entire career. If they had any clue, they would be calling the Rangers for a package of Jones, Georgiev, Hajek and Chytil.Or something like that. Building from the goalie out. While Georgiev may not be a starter, at least he can give them a lot of quality games as they grow. Jones and Hajek would upgrade their shit defense a ton going forward.
