Value of: Chris Kreider

[iago]

He put up 39 goals and 75 points just last season. 6.5 mil for that kind of production is a bargain.

He has scored the 10th most goals in the league since the start of the 2021-22 season. Over that same period, he has the 4th most goals in the playoffs.

Claiming that he is overpaid and washed up just because his numbers are down on a team in disarray is disingenuous. He's still on pace for 30 goals, and on a better team, he would almost certainly produce more. Playing most of the year next to the Zibanejad isn't doing him any favors.

Regardless of what you think his value is, the Rangers aren't trading him unless the return is significant.

Sounds like he will stay with the Rangers then.

 

[5cotland]

Absolutely delusional 33 years old signed for 2.5 more years.

How can true facts be delusional?

 

[5cotland]

It's mind boggling that people actually believe Kreider is going to return a 1st

It's worth a trip to Arkham if you don't such a ridiculous statement. An elite top liner for last 5/6 years but literally 6 weeks of struggle and he is worthless. Ok then

 

[The S5]

His contract is awful and he's washed. He doesn't have much trade value. You should be thankful anyone wants to take him at that cap hit.

Your bias is showing.

Kreider for Engvall + 3rd

no t

 

[bernmeister]

Absolutely delusional. 33 years old signed for 2.5 more years.

who even atm in a bad situation projects 30+ gs this season
whose decline is a temp aberration caused by back issues we believe resolvable w/treatment
and who has been pulled down by Zib, not vice versa

It is acknowledged that OP has a right to create this thread and as a courtesy may be heard

that said, that notion is wrong
UNLESS there is overpay Kreider should be kept

Sounds like he will stay with the Rangers then.

works for many of us

btw
MERRY CHRISTMAS
and anyone interested, check out the OT thread at the Rs board
get a listen to my carol, "Christmas Day"

Who said he was worthless?

I didn't mean to offend you, relax.

 

[dixie]

He is a world class athlete in phenomenal shape! Would be an asset to any team that gets him!

 

[Vitto79]

Zero chance the Rangers get a first from the Bruins.

Then no deal pretty simple

A protected 1st isn’t nuts

 

[bruins4thecup65]

What about Ryan Lindgren with Kreider what would be the ask?

 

[Hookslide]

Yes, it is, Your GM helped lower his value, by the way he handled the whole situation, so like you said no deal.

 

[LaffyTaffy13]

Solid contract with not much term left for the best net front guy in the league. If rangers go through a 2-3 year re-tool then probably a 1st and B level prospect

What about Ryan Lindgren with Kreider what would be the ask?

Lindgren probably will be moved at 50% retained at TDL for a 2nd imo

 

[Vitto79]

Don’t be silly a benching does nothing teams will want him for past play

If they choose to go the player route so be it

I like Frederic and Beecher, but I think we would need a defenseman back. You got anyone in the AHL who's on the way up?

 

[Xirik]

Wouldn't mind Kreider on the Devils for the playoffs.

 

[Crow]

Wouldn't mind Kreider on the Devils for the playoffs.

You guys have the cap for him?

 

[Xirik]

You guys have the cap for him?

eh probably not, maybe a trade to think about next season, trade Palat++ for Kreider.

Frederick and Wotherspoon
Draft pick (s)
Rangers retain to make the $ work

The picks would have to be substantial because both players are UFA. We could walk away with nothing if they don't resign.
