According to Brooks in this scenario Drury would have the green light to make the Rangers the following offer:

- 20 year old forward Kaapo Kakko, the 2nd overall pick at the 2019 NHL Entry Draft

- 21 year old centerman Filip Chytil, the 21st overall pick at the 2017 NHL Entry draft or 21 year old forward Vitali Kravtsov, the 9th overall pick at the 2018 NHL Entry Draft.

- One of 20 year old defenseman Zac Jones, picked 68th overall at the 2019 NHL Entry Draft, 20 year old defenseman Matthew Robertson, selected 49th overall at the 2019 NHL Entry Draft, or a first round draft pick.

This could effectively work out to be a whopping three first round picks for the Buffalo Sabres, but of course that will depend on how much value they see in the Rangers prospect pool. I suspect that the idea of retaining 50% of Eichel's salary might be too tough a pill for the Sabres to swallow, but it's not like they intend to field a competitive team in the near future if they are trading away the best player they have had in years.
