NMC

I know. Hornqvist got one too when he was moved to Florida. Speaking to swedish media he said: "I had a NMC/NTC but I didn't put up a fight, I waived it. Why would I stay if the team want to trade me? I'd rather move somewhere I'm valued."

I think Kreider could be persuaded. Especially if we said: "You're demoted on the 3rd line. Panarin is better and LAF proved enough at the end of the last season. He needs your minutes to become even better, we're too strong on the LW".

I think he'd waive for some teams, no doubt. Especially if he's not going to get icetime and he's gonna get a lot of trashtalk about his contract and so on forth.

You can almost always trade someone with a NMC/NTC, it depends on a lot of things. But it's not impossible.

Kreider is absolutely nowhere near the point of getting taken behind the woodshed.

He paced for 30 goals last year. He's not just gonna be like "yeah, I agree, I'm a 3rd liner."

I think everyone has to put these picks into some perspective. Every year throughout round 1 through 7 (except when they had the #1 and #2 picks), it always we have to draft this player! And then the Rangers don't. There were very few folks, if any on here that wanted Kravstov when he was picked. Or Chytil. Or Miller. Or Lundkvist. Or Schneider.

So far they've all turned out pretty damn good. Same with the later round picks. Everyone on her wants someone who is falling. He'll I remember when Shesh was drafted there was so many WTF reactions taking a goalie in the 3rd round. Same when Jones was picked.

Well shit, I'm out of weed man, what do you expect? We're drafting giants on ice and in net. We already got our starter goalie, we should've picked Duke over that giant G we just picked.

No I know but he will be a 3rd liner on our team. Unless we move LAF/Kreider to the RW.

And he'll probably still get first unit powerplay time. And we're probably gonna be good soon. And would be trading him somewhere shitty because they have the cap space.

The waive is not looking that appealing.

Also, last year was the only year of their respective careers that Buchnevich was better.

Also Kreider is older, plays more physical and is more likely to break down as he ages, turning him into an awful contract.


Buch is better defensively too!

LW is way more of a strength than RW as well.


Btw I like Kreider but not with that contract when we have Panarin and LAF.

Post in a thread about a drafted player: "I love this pick."

Another post in the same thread: "I don't like this pick."

Lol. Blue cheese is one of my favourites, the only downside is you get so f***ing tired when you smoke it. At the same time, I've never slept so good in my life haha.

Or maybe we're loaded with young wingers and Buchnevich is going to command a big salary. Everyone is overthinking this.

Buch to me is a move that's coming one way or the other. When you have two top young forward prospects on the right side, and money tied up into Panarin and Kreider, he's going to go. That was strictly a business decision.

lol Buch is not better defensively. That's literally one year out of their entire careers. Buch is a better penalty killer but Goodrow is going to take over for him.

If we have to get rid of Kreider down the line, we might, but this was not the year to do it.

Don't apply logic to this. We got Sammy Blais to knock out Tom Wilson in his first career fight!

You mentioned yesterday that it came down to STL, LA and Colorado with Buch.

Any idea what the other offers were?

Did they really not think the return for him would have been better at the deadline?

Yes he is.

Kreider is a physical monster who doesn't use his strengths. He plays like JVR (net front presence) when he has got blazing speed. He'll score 7 in 5 games just to be invisible for the next 5 games.

Kreider could be such a menace if he wanted to.
