Proposal: LAK - NYR

[Guitpik]

Some may not like Fiala, but the last thing the Kings need are more geriatric contracts.

 

[tkb81]

The special K line

Well we know we won't be just using the first letters of their names for a line ... nein

 

[MonkeysUncle]

Fiala for Kreider

Both could probably use a change of scenery at this stage

Good lord no, kings laugh at that.

 

[Trash Panda]

The Kings should be all over this, if it were actually offered.

Fiala doesn’t play well with others on the Kings roster, and has hit a brick wall of production 5 on 5. Age doesn’t matter, because the Kings aren’t competing for shit once Kopitar & Doughty retire.

Kreider fits the Kings style much better. This trade realistically benefits the kings in a lot of ways. Blake has already sold the farm, may as well go all in.

Krieder- Kopitar - Kempe
Turcotte - Byfield - Foegele
Moore - Danault- Laf
Jeannot - Helenius- Lewis/ Thomas

Pretty balanced lineup, coveted right shot and gives us an extra 1.4 mil to use elsewhere. Still not sure if I would do it but not a bad suggestion.

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

Bullshit they do. I’d trade Fiala for a used diaper.

 

[FSL KINGS]

Kreider is turning 34 in a few months & has back problems. Nope.

 

[noncents]

interesting idea, for a few reasons.

just need to make sure this thread is up to code with requisite habs fan complaining without any relevance to montreal... yep, seems to be in order.

carry on!

 

[RationalExpectations]

in the construction of our line up .. it will be the final solution

Seems like a bad idea, because Byfield is one the key Parts of LAK s Future…

Regarding your other point, you are the one waiting for the Nichuskin Parssinen Danault line on the Avs Right ?

Its is joke .. i dont advocate for Kreider .. too old, to give up any valuable assests

 

[FIRE DRURY]

Habs fans get rightfully mocked for bad proposals but every ranger proposal I come across is basically we'll give you one of the worst contracts in the league for a player way younger and more talented, deal?

Was a joke too no worries

Kreider is a great value contract
so you are TOTALLY OFF

also despite a disillusioned few looking to give him the bum's rush including a handful who delusionally think Zib > Kreider, CK not ordinarily on the block for an ordinary return

 

[UnSandvich]

Don't really see the fit for NY. Longer contract and doesnt fill any needs on the team. Would rather just trade Kreider for a pick or 2

 

[qc14]

He hasn't had a great year but Kreider is one of the worst contracts In the league? Still Pretty much on pace for 30 goals this year. Gonna have around 155-160 goals over the last 4 years. At 6.5 million for 2 more years that's one of the worst contracts in the league? Not even gonna mention 24 playoff goals over the last 3 seasons including a hat-trick in pretty much an elimination game.

How many assists is he on pace for?

Totally fine if you wanna cherry-pick stats for the 35 games he's played in (played hurt) thats fine. I'm not here to defend Kreider I'm just saying his contract is far from one of the worst in hockey. Very very far from worst.

 

[Flan the incredible]

How many assists is he on pace for?

If you are acquiring Kreider to get assists you are pretty stupid. He sits in front of the net and gets you deflections and rebound goals. Guy is probably the best net front PP player in the league the last few years and is great on the PK.

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

How many assists is he on pace for?

...a few less than Fiala...and plays like he cares...

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

We should say "how soon can we book the flight?"

Kreider would be a terrific fit next to Kopitar and Kempe.

2020-2024 Kreider maybe

 

[bernmeister]

How many assists is he on pace for?

not trying to cherry pick much to lower value, are we?

Are you going by how well he's played since, or are we including all the games where he has been unable to rescue to abyss that is zib?
He's fed Mika dozens of times, and zib, sucking ass, fails to convert.

Whose fault is that?

try again
with some sincere honesty

 

[eco's bones]

If Kreider is traded it's going to signal the Rangers throwing in the towel on this season. It will be for futures.

Yeah I don't see the point of a lateral move and I don't think Fiala upgrades us at all. They're both having underachieving seasons. I also thinks there's a fairly good chance Kreider rebounds if not later this year then next year. He has been dealing with a back injury. IMO he might want to think about skipping the 4 nations cup tournament.

Also I'm not sure what kind of playoff producer Fiala is but he's probably not near the level of Kreider. The last 3 years the Rangers have played 43 playoff games and Chris has knocked in 24 goals and 37 points. Prorate 24 goals in 43 games to an 82 game season and you have someone pushing a 50 goal season against only playoff teams. If the Rangers move Kreider to a playoff bound team this year they have the potential for three runs with him and if he's got his game back that could be a major pickup and his cap hit of $6.5 mil could be very workable for a lot of teams.

Absolutely if we're moving him we should be looking at younger roster players and/or picks/prospects.
