Kreider is a good player, but he ain't returning any meaningful haul tbh. He has too many issues, cap, bad back, age. I mean he will be 34 in April.
Rangers have lost 6 out of their last 7 games. What would you do if you were Dolan (the owner of the team) or Drury (the GM)?

I'm usually as pessimistic as can be, but I am 100% truthful when I say this disaster is exactly what this organization needed.
They couldn't win last year. This year, they decided to run it back except they were undoubtedly worse due to losing their deadline rentals and the insertion of several rookies into the lineup who aren't contributors yet. Their plan was to do exactly what they did last year; get to the deadline with a playoff spot in hand and sell off futures for one more crack with this core. And they would have went dumpster diving at the deadline again, only to find out the exact same thing they found out last year; they're not good enough.
With this shitshow ensuing, we don't even have to kid ourselves that we're going to be buyers at the deadline and we can shed salary cap space and procure a better draft pick.
My issue is that we'll botch the living f*** out of whatever top 10 pick we get, which is really the main reason why this organization is in the spot its in above all else but that's an entirely different conversation.
Drury should've been fired the minute the ink was wet on the Igor contract, but even he could not possibly be as stupid as to think this team should be buyers at the trade deadline.
At least the players are taking it out of his hands because at this rate they'll be bottom 5 in the league by the end of January.

League doesn’t usually pay for old damaged goods.
Optimism is good but often not achieved.
We will see.
