The Athletic (subscription required) release their most recent trade deadline board, which naturally had Jack Eichel on it. What was interesting was the analysis, in which one NHL exec said, “Jack Eichel is going to be a New York Ranger, I just don’t know when.”
Naturally this led to the trade proposal engine churning again. But the article was also quick to say there were others who thought the Kings would have the better trade package. Specifically, LA has the high-end center prospects that the Rangers don’t. Also, LA isn’t in the Eastern Conference, which is probably important for the Sabres.
