I want newhook...jost, and a first.

Your obsession can follow him

Nah I’m a Ranger fan. If I could live with Leetch traded I could live with anybody being traded. Nice try Francesa lol

Just give him his damn money and call it a day.

It’s pretty simple...if you think this team’s window opens up next year, which I do, and I’m betting Ranger management does, too, Kreider makes you a better team for the next 4-5 years. As I have seen from other people, either Gorton gets a king’s ransom, or Kreider is here for at least six more years.

anybody would. Except in reality they would laugh and hang up the phone

I don't...I think the window opens up 2 years from now...but i do think shesterkin is gonna get us close to the playoffs next year.. maybe even get in.

Bobby Mac thinks that hes most likely gone.

This one is going to sting more than all of the other moves they've made over the last 2 years.

I think they get in next year.

The forward progression this team has made is for real folks.

With Igor in net, add a LHD who is reliable, they will be set. Scoring isn’t an issue for the Rangers because of players like CK. KZB is hot, has been hot in the past, and will be hot in future.

It's possible they get in next year..maybe even probable...but to me the window is when we compete for a cup. And that won't happen till kakko becomes a legit player, and I don't see that happening in 1 year, I think it takes him another full year to totally adapt.

Disagree. If the Rangers are not a playoff team next year, things have gone wrong. I’m not saying they’re complete yet. They still need growth from the kids, an upgrade on Skjei, Staal sent to the press box and another bottom six forward or two. But, they have a lot of skill, both in the top six and on RD. They’re learning to play a heavy game. And Gorton has a lot of ammunition to add the other parts.

Kreider was absolutely dominant tonight.

Literally the height of his career right now.

Makes it a lot tougher or easier depending on how you look at it

At this point, I feel like Kreider will be gone if they only get a king's ransom for him. If not, I think he stays.

They don’t need him to get there next year:

Well theres the whole they'd need to sign him thing that has to happen between now and 3 PM Monday.

I don't think that gap gets bridged and I really, really don't think they self rent him.

throw in Fast

 

[Kakko Schmakko]

Kreider is still a support player though, he can't carry a line by himself. I hope Gorton doesn't wait until the last minute to make a trade, because by that time most teams interested would have made their moves.

Nobody has ever said he carries anybody but he does have a bigtime effect on what he brings. That line has insane chemistry and still all pretty young

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

He needs to be signed or traded before Monday’s deadline, that’s about all I know right now

 

[Cassano]

I still think the right move is to re-sign him (unless you get the ransom that BobMcKenzie suggested). This team has actually played great hockey the past ~25 games, turned the season around and he's probably one of their 3 best players.

Yup. Gorton should spend the next two days seeing if they can get this done. However if they are too far apart by Saturday then he needs to pray he can pry another team to give up a very good prospect because it’s obvious Colorado isn’t doing it. The last thing I want is waiting until a Boston is the only team left and we get a shit return. Look I want to resign him first and foremost but they need to get it straightened out this weekend

 

[Kakko Schmakko]

Gorton can sweeten the deal with one of our LD prospects. If Gorton wanted to sign Kreider to an extension he should have done so a long time ago. Makes little sense to do it now.

5 x 8.5 ? too much?

Support player? He has consistently been among the top Ranger forwards in driving play for his whole career.

Not really true. It’s a fact that there is interest in him staying
