You know, the more I think about it, if Kreids took a MONSTER cut below market; the friendliest of all team friendly deals for 5 years and took the C, I would not be opposed to a thought like that ...

As I’ve said I’d love nothing more than for Lias to serve me a huge bowl of crow. I’d eat it with a smile on my face.

Having said that I think Howden is the much better player but it looks like Andersson is getting the first real look with the two soup hairs namestnikov and Strome.

If Howden and Kravtsov have to start in Hartford because of those two guys I’ll be livid. But it’s looking more and more likely that one of Howden/Lias will start down there and most likely Kravtsov. There just isn’t room. Nieves is definitely going to waivers and Hartford.

McKegg will be the 13th or the 4C
 
How is it the Yotes and the Knights have their first preseason game today? Don't they have training camps? LOL

That hit was great. Textbook safe, so close to the boards and square into the chest.
As @BobMarleyNYR says, it was a favor. Gotta get used to the contact. The sooner the better. In fact I bet he and the coaches asked for more contact.

Yup, and he's up against savages now.

Being a lottery pick is like graduating suma cum laude from West Point... celebrate a few months, then you're expected to be a leader against the krauts...

Although Kreider provides a beast factor that is currently unmatched [KK a worth add there], I am open minded about moving him. But what has to be acknowledged is that an extended Kreider, whether kept or dealt, is worth more than an unextended one. That is the reality, and most other factors should capitulate in order to realize that profit and avoid that loss [if we go the other way] of value.

Skjei commanded what he did, God bless him.
We did not know we would have what we have now, and sure, there is likely to be growing pains.
I would have jettisoned Staal and kept Shatty, made another cap move or two, and tried to bring back Claesson as a cheap 1 yr stopgap.

And Deangelo had to mature.
We could not move him for substantial return, until now, he at least fetches decent ++ value.

But now that this is the current situation, we should go THERE.
Fortune favors the bold, at least usually.

Also I am for a 4-5 yr CK deal, not 6 or 7.
Age is not good for a game that favors a younger man, usually.
However Kreider is a remarkable athlete and barring unforeseen injury will continue to have an extended prime in his early 30s.
This is atypical of most players.

Also, there is plenty of room for both to grow, and Skjei's game has varied with systems and quality of partner.
Off hand he is probably our best skater, especially backwards, pivotal for D coverage.
But with some more experience, I think Hajek very soon [a year ish] will match/eclipse as to an overall game.

Kreider's a unique player but he's not a superstar. I'd consider keeping him if the money is there.....if not we'll need to move him. There comes a time when you have to move on and I don't agree that Kreider on a 5 year deal is necessarily more valuable---if a couple years into such a contract his play collapses he won't be worth much.

IMO--Rangers made the right choice dumping Shattenkirk and we have no need as in none for bringing back Claesson. We have 4 legit LD candidates--Rykov, Hajek, Lindgren, Reunanen vying for the third pair this year. I see no reason for clogging up the system sitting them all in Hartford and waiting around for K'Andre (maybe at the end of the year) to join them and with maybe also Robertson pushing for a job next year. We need to start sorting through them and when we do then we can think about dumping Staal and thinking about moving Skjei two or three years from now.....but at least some of these kids are going to need a chance and signing Claesson would have been ridiculous.

I don't think we'd get a great for DeAngelo at the moment. Hajek is not ready to step into Skjei's role.
