Larry Brooks o the NY Post: (mailbag) The Buffalo Sabres would likely want the New York Rangers No. 1 pick in a trade for Jack Eichel. If not, likely one of Kaapo Kakko, K’Andre Miller or Adam Fox, plus. It wouldn’t be easy for salary cap reasons as well, now and in the future.
Can’t see the Rangers trading down from the No. 1 pick.
Don’t believe the Rangers see Ryan Strome as a long-term solution as their second-line center. They won’t move on from him until they have someone ready to fill that role.
