On top of all these single season milestones for Kreider, he is closing in on a NYR career milestone as well. If Kreider manages to get to 52 goals this season, he will enter the top 10 in franchise history for goals in a career.
Warts and all, he's going to be one of the most successful Rangers players in their franchise history.

I assume you meant career goals as a Ranger.
Kreider is at 219. Bill Cook had 228, so 9 more goals and Kreider will be tied for 10th most in Rangers history.
Rod Gilbert has the most goals at 407. Kreider needs 189 goals to pass him, which is a tall order. If he maintains his current pace, he should get another 11-12 goals this year. He would then need to average 35-36 goals per year over the next 5 years, or 25-26 over the next 7 years. In 7 years, he will be 38 years old, so it's not crazy to think he could still be playing for the Rangers then, but a lot will depend on how he is playing and our cap situation. If he produces next year anything close to this year, then the odds go up.

The posts saying to trade Kreider during last off season are why fans are not GMs or coaches.
The weird thing is last year outside of a dominant run he had one of his worse seasons in recent years. I think he's tailor made for Gallant.

Shocked to see Marcel so high on that list. He was really great but like 100 years old.

I couldn't believe people wanted to dump him. I was shocked. I said in the offseason that every team in the league wants a power foward with speed that basically scores 30 goals (per 82) every season. That is very hard to find. It was pointed out that he didn't score 30. Nobody said 50 but I did say I could see 40.

Insane. Guy may be a top 20 Hart guy this season. Powerfowards that score 30 are unicorns in the NHL.Some people still want to trade him now.

Some people still want to slot Kravtsov ahead of him...

I don't think that's accurate. Edge had mentioned that there might be conversations in that direction this summer, but I don't think anyone suggested that they actually wanted to move him.Some people still want to trade him now.
I can't imagine the Rangers will trade him within the next 2 years. Once his NMC becomes an NTC, all bets are off. And it remains to be seen if he can come close to duplicating this performance next season.
I think for next season, the plan is to re-sign Copp, and let him and Chytil work it out between them as to who is 2C and 3C. We should have enough cap space to re-sign Copp without needing to move any of our big contracts. Maybe we'll need to move Nemeth, but we'll see.

There is no optimization in the real world. This extends to basically every aspect of life. There are “by the book” approaches to most things that theoretically lead to optimal results, but life in general is an insanely complex system that cannot be modeled perfectly. Sports are just a subset of that.
Moving Kreider is the theoretical optimal move. Maximize the “asset”. I get where those people are coming from.
The real world is different. Just is.

One person, who isn't exactly known for fair and balanced takes.
We had people putting him on the third line earlier this season when he was scoring on a 50 goal pace.

I just addressed this in the roster building thread. People were penciling him in on the 3rd line before the season started based on his body of work to date, the desire to get Laf into the top 6, and the hopes for a more balanced lineup.
If you can find one person who has suggested dropping him to the 3rd line at any point from Nov 1st on, then I'll stand corrected.
It was a few people here, and other social media. People worry about the future too much, the team is competing now, and bringing up a potential trade years from now just doesn’t make sense to me. Guy is having a remarkable career season, and people are worried about trading him down the road, come on man. That is my point, when we come to that bridge we’ll worry about crossing it.
There definitely was someone but I won't be able to find his post(s). His rationale was that Kreider was scoring most of his goals on the Power Play.

Woof, bad takes especially by Steven. People diminishing him as never scoring 30 goals have an agenda. Dude paced over 30 goals the last two years but you know Covid.
