11:38AM: Elliotte Freidman was on Buffalo radio on Thursday morning and said the following about Jack Eichel and the Rangers:
“The one team we are all sitting here and wondering about is the Rangers. From what I heard, as recently as last week, what Buffalo wanted and what the Rangers were willing to do was, and I said this on our podcast, the idea of a Venn diagram and there was no overlap, that it was two separate circles. Like i heard what the Sabres wanted to do and the Rangers wanted to do wasn’t even close, not even close. I wonder if what the Rangers are looking at here, and the Rangers have some decisions to make down the middle, extend Zibanejad, trade for Eichel, what are you going to do with Strome, all this stuff. I think what the Rangers might be looking at is, ‘who are we really negotiating against? I kind of wonder if that is the way they look at it, does Buffalo have another outlet here?”
