Rangers taking another run at Jack Eichel!
It's been said more than once that the asking price is too much. Just recently, TSN's Pierre LeBrun reported that the Sabres will be expecting to demand a 2021 first-round pick as part of their return for Eichel, putting the timeline for a deal ahead of the July 23 NHL Draft.
This is what Seravelli reports:
«Sources say the Rangers have quietly checked with each of the teams holding a pick inside the Top 10 of Friday's Draft, inquiring about the price to acquire it. (New York's first-round pick is No. 16 overall.) The belief is the Rangers would like to package that pick in a transaction for Eichel, as the Sabres are reportedly seeking another lottery-range pick to go with their No. 1 overall selection.''
Teams in conversation with the Sabres have said the asking price for Eichel is «astronomical.» Buffalo is looking for a futures-type deal with multiple prospects and picks involved.»
On Friday morning, Rangers insider for the New York Post Larry Brooks confirms that the price tag remains the same.
