Kreider and his injured back after he gets traded
View attachment 973076

He looked fine scoring the SHG last night. The Rangers had casino night last week. Kreider took pictures with the fans. He didn't look to be bothered by a bad back.

Jones with a little extra pep in his step tonight.

He wants ice.

He wants out.

He has permission to seek a trade.

Nobody wants HIM

All I see is a guy getting old and only putting out 100% effort once in a while.

If he's healthy enough to play in this 4 nations things then his apologists need to eat a sock. He has been terrible this year.

Couldn’t disagree more. Mika is -25 because he couldn’t keep up at center this season. He lost too many battles in key spots and turned the puck over all of the time. At RW, he’s in a better spot to win board battles in the D-zone on his strong side. And when he makes East-west passes, at least he’s on his forehand and the extra zip makes the pass more likely to go through. How many weak east-weat backhanded passes of his have been turnovers? Almost all of them?

JT also removes a lot of the weight of expectations off of Mika and that line, defensively, should be fine.

5 points in 2 games.

The Rangers will be lucky to get a decent draft pick for Jones. Maybe the Rangers can get back a player with a decent cap hit for Jones. The other team wants to dump the contract. Maybe they get back a rental.

Kreider is like many of the Rangers players. They have been terrible this season. Management should ship all of them out. Kakko and Chytil have been traded. They were not the problems. The other guys are still here.

Don Sweeney in the house to see Kreider turn on the afterburners for the GWG. Kreider to Boston feels inevitable imo, even if it's in the summer.. It's the only place I think he'd be Ok going. Rangers have a history of swapping franchise heroes with the B's. Middling success at best.

If Montreal waived Dvorak to save money NYR would probably pick him up ?

Also Jones has value . No way he’d clear waivers

I would. Send MTL back Zac Jones. Dvorak can fake it as the 3C the rest of the season until they upgrade this summer.

Dvorak sucks.

I’d just keep jones.
