Larry Brooks of the NY Post: If Mika Zibanejad were to take a six-year extension between $9 and $9.5 million, would it take the New York Rangers out of Jack Eichel talks> Zibanejad may want more and might be able to get more on the open market. If the Rangers wouldn’t go that high on Zibanjad, then he knows where they stand.
If the Rangers were to acquire Eichel, recently signed RFA Filip Chytil would likely be included. He signed a two-year deal at $2.3 million per.
A source said a recent Rangers offer didn’t include Chytil but did include Vitali Kravtsov, Zach Jones, Alexandar Georgiev and a first-round draft pick.
