moving Kreider to induce Mika is cutting yr nose....Has anyone mentioned how Panarin and Jack Eichel's contracts end at the same time? On a related note, how fast would Mika waive his NMC if Kreider was gone?
As I've posted before, Zib needs to be told, look, bern is right, we are doing it his way, we are not gonna make the welfare of the whole team capitulate to the vets and we are going to control the cap, not let it control us.
Relative to what he costs and delivers and fact he is always in peak physical shape, CK stays
but Shesty, bread, Trouba, Lindgren are all buh bye
going forward, chemistry is huge
atm, new kid line has it
Tro + LaF have it
you and Kreider not showing enuf chem most of the time
If you play ball, we can prob hook you up w/preferred relocation
like TOR where you can top 6 w/Matthews
or if we score Byfield to LA where you can challenge for 1C after Kopitar, close to retirement
if not we have to carefully consider when we dress you for play
and new line assignments
but understand, the vets do not run this place
I just realized Kreider only has a 15 team NTC now instead of Nmc.
Hopefully he is an offseason casualty
wrong x 2, and counting...K sucks too. He is only good on special teams.
Useless on 5v5.
correctimudo, well saidHe's carrying around a horrible 5v5 player. Kreider was consistently one of the best even strength players in the league before Zibanejad regressed into "can't put him on the ice" territory.
wrong x 3, and counting...Trocheck already has a good line, and so does chytil.
Lets not make the dame mistake 2x with kreider and not ship him out when u can get a good return. Last time it was rumored that dallas wanted to send robertson and a first.
We can easily get a good return on him and he is part of the country club rangers. Im just sick of him.
Watch him now. He doesnt take the body anymore, shies from contact and isnt good on the forecheck. His game is slipping all around. Better to rid him and grt assets. Also lets the youth step up and become leaders.
He is done. Not going to get better and holds back the youth at this point.
Edit: i should add. I dont trade him this year, but the offseason. Him and trouba are needed to go to clear salary for our overpaid goalie.
Also, they arent part of the solution going forward. Get assets, and we have plenty of wingers in the system who hopefully can step up.
wrong x 4, and counting...by taking on ice time during games going forward. Being lavs crutch. Youth deferring leadership to him instead of becoming leaders themselves.
He is part of the old guard. After this year, he needs to go. Its time to start the turnover and giving thr reins to laff and hopefully kakko. Perrrault will also need top 6 minutes.
He is not going to get better and if we want the youth to bust through and get their chance, he must go and get a max return. Hopefully a high pick or a center prospect.
He has run his course. Like messier did. At some point they need to go. Much better to let them go while u can get a good return than for nothing 2 season later.
wrong x 5, and counting...Great so lets grt a good return. Our cap situation sucks, and we need to start turning the team over. Keeping him for 2 years while we have a major cap issue in one of them would be dumb.
Especially since we have an abundance of wingers, and perrault needs to play top 6. Kakko needs to play more.
Othmann is another.
Kreider is going to be worth more to us as a trade chip then the diminishing returns he will provide over the last 2 years of contract.
let us know when you give up
