Cements my feeling that a Jekyll and Hyde composite of a lineup doesn't work. Your top 6 can't be Jekyll and the bottom 6 can't be Hyde. Successful teams have players that are innate blend of both.
I think this would largely be the best course of action considering the way last season went with the off-ice drama and injuries, his role on the team for the PK/PP, and the overall cap hit.
That difference comes into play when the players are of a similar caliber. Those two players were never of a similar caliber. They're still not. Wennberg is coming off of back to back 10 goal seasons. Kreider scored more those two combined years just this past year.
How does a guy like that bounce around? He always stood out as incredibly skilled on the Canucks.
Another small dman. Rangers might as well just play Jones more.
i’d be very surprised if drury was as looking to add a small guy like that on D.
He is good, but we also just have a guy. He small though. Brett something. Lavi "lost" him on the bench a lot.
Kreider of today to be traded during the summer vs a deadline acquisition that was the second best center available at the deadline after the best center available was already traded. It's a supply and demand thing. Wingers are a dime a dozen. Teams want centers and center depth. Wingers are second thought unless the winter is elite. People can try to will this situation all they want but kreider isn't some massive league commodity, he just isn't that good anymore and his body is starting to break down.
Avs are going to most likely be looking for a bigger move than that for a better player.
