I don't understand what riches the Rangers potentially have for this trade that makes any sense. If you are Buffalo, you aren't trading Eichel for anyone on the Rangers other than Lafreniere or Fox. Zibanejad has one more year before he's UFA, but I'm guessing it won't be hard to get him to sign an extension with the Rangers. So then, they already have that elite 1st line centre. Why would they give up a potential top line winger for something they already have? Are they going to give up Fox instead? That makes even less sense.
Sorry, but Kakko isn't going to do it. If it was a pick of either Kakko or Matthew Tkatchuk, I know who I'd choose.
