Player Discussion Chris Kreider: Part III

[FoxysExpensiveNYDigs]

Waiting on him to fake that shot from the left circle and deke a goalie out of his jock. Soon.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

When can he be extended? Jan 2019 or Jan 2020? or does it matter?

I dont think he will Callahan us

July 2019 I think

The most beautiful part....

Kreider's raise will be the change in Girardi's buyout ($2M) and the Beleskey (875k) 'buried' charge.

He's getting a raise by the re-issuing 'dead cap money'.

So it is meant to be. Lock him up!

He needs to be here long term! That is all!

Cant say it any better than that.

He is UFA in year (2020-21) and consider all things it`s too early to even debate a new contract with him - so let us see in some years when we are closer to 2020.

I'm looking at Kreider's analytics for the season, which I don't often do actually, because it's like staring directly at the sun.

 

[Machinehead]

His CF%rel just crept into the positive. GF% is outstanding. Leads in the team in p/60.

Again, quietly just consistent good hockey.

I really wouldn't be against bringing this guy back to be part of the next group. If he's 31 by the time we're competitive again, is that really the worst thing? Depends on the dollars of course.

Update: Knocking on the door of top 20 in the NHL in rel CF%. Just took over 15th in even strength goals.

That's not wingers, not forwards. Players.

But he’s so inconsistent. Will he ever take the next step?

I see a bit of John LeClair in Kreider.

And what happened to LeClair when he went to play with a top end center?

He got inducted to the Vermont Sports Hall of Fame.

Then Kreider is SOOL in that regard.

I think that Kreider is faster and has much more of an edge. Don't get me wrong, LeClair was great.

Doom. Legion of. And Doom as in Ron Simmons in the earlier post by @Machinehead

 

[Blue Blooded]

Since the start of the 2016-17 season these are Kreider's ranks among forwards with 1,000+ 5v5 minutes:

G/60: 38th
P/60: 61st
RelCF%: 3rd
RelFF%: 1st
RelxGF%: 9th

He has entered the top 20 in the NHL in goals scored, closing in on the halfway mark.

He's a goal away from taking over 15th from the likes of Connor McDavid and John Gaudreau. Elite company.

Only three LWs in the league have more goals than him - Ovechkin, Skinner and Landeskog.

And with all due respect to Landeskog, could you imagine Kreider on that line?

He could do at least the same.

Same goes for a player like Guentzel.

 

[True Blue]

No on is untradeable, but I am now really wonder what fair value is. Whatever it is, it is be painful to give. If Buffalo, it starts with Ottawa's pick and their top prospect. I am not advocating trading him.

For me, I am holding on to him. This is the Rangers captain on the other side of the rebuild. And, btw, I am extending him as soon as possible. It will get more and more expensive over the course of time.

 

[Blue Blooded]

Chris Kreider now has 35 G, 26 A, 61 P in his past 82 GP.

All 3 of those guys are LWs on my fantasy team... with Rantanen... and McDavid... and Petterson
