Confirmed Signing with Link: [NYR] Chris Kreider (4 years $4.625M AAV)

[mrpither]

Very good deal for someone who brings a lot more than just the goals. Goalies beware.

That is fine, since it is after the expansion draft.

Expansion draft has nothing to do with it. Players can only have NTC/NMC clauses during UFA years. The first 2 years of the deal are RFA years.

 

[RangerGuru]

Thrilled, excellent deal to lock him up another 4 years

 

[Kathryn Tappen]

To think that Bowman gave Bickell 4x4 in 2013..wow this is a good deal right now.

 

[Mad Brills*]

I'm very interested to see what Hayes gets.

 

[leaflover]

Good deal IMO. I like Kreider and think he can/will put up bigger numbers.

 

[MarkMessyay11]

I'm very interested to see what Hayes gets.

I don't see him getting a long-term deal. Probably a 1 or 2 year bridge deal around $2.5-3 mil is my guess.

Overpayment is Matt Martin at $2.5 AAV


UFA vs rfa

4th liner vs top sixer

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

This is market value. Take a look around.

You are comparing a UFA contract to a RFA contract Sorry but that doesn't fly

 

[Freudian]

Seems fair for both sides, given what he's shown this far.

 

[Zats Muccarello]

Very good deal for someone who brings a lot more than just the goals. Goalies beware.

hahaha the secret weapon of the Rangers

 

[eco's bones]

On a shorter term it would have been high. Taking in a couple UFA years it's fine.

 

[Tripod]

Perfectly in line with the production scale of 1 pt=$100,000

He is getting paid to be a 46 point guy....and has paced for 45.92 pts over the last 3 years over 82 games.

Schenn having a breakout year of 59 points means of course he is getting much more.

UFAs are always overpaid. I don't see that helping your case.

 

[Pestilence]

To think that Bowman gave Bickell 4x4 in 2013..wow this is a good deal right now.

Most contracts are good if you compare them to Bickell's contract.

 

[Rebels57]

Appropriate contract based on production.

 

[gorangers0525]

At worst that's his value, at best it becomes a steal. Good deal.

 

[Flames Fanatic]

Expansion draft has nothing to do with it. Players can only have NTC/NMC clauses during UFA years. The first 2 years of the deal are RFA years.

Not to mention NTC's don't mean anything for the expansion draft either...

Anyways, solid deal, right around where I was guesstimating (4.5 ish).

 

[DaBo]

Have to assume you do not know the difference between signing and performance bonuses.

Have to assume you don't understand comedy.

 

[ReggiesLemons]

I like this for the Rangers. Kreider has to potential to continue to improve and be a 30 goal guy. If not, still a pretty fair deal.

Isles fan chiming in with my unwanted opinion of a Rangers signing:

Nice deal for CK. Right around market value for him. Imagine what he would've gotten if he could stop?

edit: the Parenteau deal does look pretty good for isles when you look at what a guy like Martin is making in TO.

Matt Martin is overpaid by probably a million $ and apparently has to cut his hair, and he's not too happy about it. Wonder if they told him that beforehand. If im him, gotta be thinking i've got 10 million reasons I would shave my head

 

[Evergreen]

Even as a fan of a rival team, I have to admit this is a solid deal.

 

[pld459666]

Good deal for team and player.

 

[NotOpie]

Loving the Victor Rask deal more and more every day!

 

[Curufinwe]

The savings on Rask aren't high at all considering he skipped the bridge deal guys like Schenn and Kreider got.
