What he is waiting for and what is happening are one thing. In any interview with him, he has expressed feelings that do not leave one to believe that he is frozen out. He has been quite complimentary.

Okay fine
My larger point being, you cannot have zero discussions with these guys for an extended period about a contract extension, and then when the trade deadline hits come out and say "we're discussing an extension" as an attempt to drive up the price
People aren't stupid, they know Gorton has zero intentions of bringing Kreider back, and it's been evident for a year
Stop looking at just points. TDA is not great and never will be defensively. I still think you send a big time package for one , big prospect. Kreider, Howden TDA for Cozens and a first? Kreider, TDA and Howden for Tippett and a first. I would like a high level, top forward back in a package deal. Something along those lines. You could add in any number of names but the idea is sound. Get another top, young, forward talent to add to the mix.

I think the Rangers would prefer to make a deal with someone like Boston and Colorado if there's an opportunity to get a young player over a pick.
If no such deal exists, then it will come down to where they think the pick might be located, or what the overall package consists of.

Stop posting this garbage. Cozens or Tippett are not nearly good enough to trade 3 NHL players for

Plus, who is forcing management's hand on the right side? No one. Keane is having a good start to his pro career, and Lundkvist, while tearing up the SHL, has nowhere near the physique to handle the rigors in the NHL, and is probably at least another year from coming over.
DeAngelo's value also isn't anything close to what we like to think it is. He needs to continue to produce until the end of the season, and probably next as well, in order to return a piece worth giving him up to acquire. He's under team control for another two seasons past this one, so I really don't see the urgency to trade him away. Nashville has made a living off being a D factory, and they always seem to get good value and make room when they have players who are ready to take the next step. But they make their young D earn it.

Hrm. Plays for an NHL team. 4 games away from 100 NHL games over the past two seasons. Playing the toughest forward position @ 20-21 years old. Yeah, probably an NHL player.

Change is good.
Colorado I can definitely see, but I feel like there's exactly one package they'd want from Boston... and so far it hasn't been available.
Sure, but I think that is not yet all that evident. I believe that Gorton will weigh all possible returns vs. what he would bring back Kreider at and decide from there.
Again, as of today I think that he gets traded. But there is a path for him to stay.
Dude.....I just need to ask: Are you out of your friggin' mind? Why not throw in Kravstov to sweeten the deal?

Like I said, this is a fantasy. Kreider is gone. Accept it. And likely for the best given his expected contract vs his production/inconsistency.
I love the concept but if the big name prospect coming back is Cozens, I’d be mortified. I do not see NHL-level IQ with that player and don’t see him becoming anything more than a middle 6er. I wouldn’t be surprised at a total bust.
Would much prefer Newhook/Krebs or a pick that gets us Zary/Holloway.

Carp doing a solid job of regurgitating information we already knew
Hard to believe this guy has a job

Change is good.
He tweeted it out the exact same time everyone else did.
Then, being a reporter, he did what he is paid to do, by writing it up in an article that took a couple of hours to finish, get edited, and then post.
He writes in far more depth regarding the Rangers than any other reporter covering the team. I'm grateful to have him.

Eh
Agree to disagree. Carp is the human embodiment of the “old man yelling at clouds” meme
Dude is coasting to retirement

They can say whatever they want. Whether anyone buys it is another story. Every big deal Scott Boras does seems to include “two mystery teams.”

I really don't think there is.
I could totally see him self renting Kreider if they hang around long enough.

That was exactly my point. The Rangers can say whatever they like - whether anyone believes it is another matter.

I don’t see that at all. He’s gone unless he suffers a serious season ending injury.
Boston doesn't have a flashy prospect pool, but they do have a few guys in their early 20's who are playing pro hockey but haven't been able to take that next step forward or earn a consistent spot with the team.
Anders Bjork is the guy that stands out the most. I'm sure the B's would be loathe to give him up, but for the right guy perhaps they would. Speedy and can make plays at pace. Good shot and vision. Can play both ends of the ice well.
