I hope it’s not influencing JG but obviously the Friday game against Carolina is tantamount to a playoff game. Wonder if he’s influenced to keep Kreider thru the weekend?
It's not really all that realistic.
Look at their strength of schedule after the TDL.

Fair enough. That's what makes forums great. The discussions and ability to disagree with each other but love our team, we all want what's best for the rangers.
Yeah and the division is still a beast. Carolina and philly are legit teams. Have to stick to the plan and if the team continues to win so be it

Screw it. I'm demanding Newhook or Byram from the Avalanche, or Studnicka and a lot more from the Bruins.
Unrealistic? Maybe, but I'm not budging. Take it or leave it. #TheArtoftheDeal

Of Course. I mean I’ve been pretty fair. I said if Kreider is looking for a monster deal then I understand walking away. I’m fine with trading him but I want a monster package but I’m not confident we are gonna get that. The Bruins currently have the 31st pick and a bad farm system. Colorado has the 30th overall pick and has some great prospects but I’ve heard they aren’t trading them for a rental. The Blues? Maybe but again I’ve heard they aren’t breaking the back for a rental. Plus I feel team is much further along and still has a shot at the playoffs

I see it. I just don't want to make a push.
I think this team is one or two more top forward prospects away from a Chicago or Pittsburgh style dynasty.
I want that, therefore I want the team to miss the playoffs one more time.
People act like tanking is the end of the world. Well, we've been deliberately selling for two years now and it hasn't hurt the upward trajectory of this team one bit, and one more sell off isn't gonna hurt us either. It's gonna help us, long term. I wish more fans would see THAT.
The way this team is heading, and it should be obvious to everyone, this is their last chance to get a top pick.
They should make it count. Instead of walking away with Dylan Holloway or Jack Drury.

Feeling it
Teams have to be salivating over what Kreider will bring to their teams chances of winning a Cup.
He did it all tonight. It was like he was putting on a show for the scouts.
question is will the Rangers get back what he is worth right now? My Goodness

Sorry man but at worst we are gonna end up 13 overall even if we trade CK. We aren’t tanking.

Personally, I think his upside is higher.
Studnicka has never made me think he could be a first line center if all the pieces come together. Newhook has.
I wouldn't put money on this prediction.
But it doesn't matter where they finish, they're jumping into one of the top 3 slots.

Maybe.
But then we have an extra first rounder and prospects to move up from 13 to 9 or 8 or something and get like, a Rossi or a Lundell. Huge difference from those guys to a Holloway.

And just missing the playoffs only to get the 11th-14th pick is no guarantee said pick will have any impact on the team in the next 3-5 years.
Not only that, this organization and FO wants to move forward. They are not here trying to tank for a top 3 or top 5 pick, or banking on the lottery system and getting lucky twice. They would rather have this young group make the playoffs. Just as important.

Kreider's agent has to be licking his chops and telling him to wait until July 1 with how well he is playing. Get traded to a team with a potential for a long playoff run, and strike gold.
Of course CK might just love it here, and say he wants to take the Rangers offer.
Clock is ticking.

Newhook is kinda perfect for what we need. Too bad it seems he's not on the table.
Wheeler projects him as a "line driving 2nd liner" or possibly a solidly contributing first liner. Absent landing a true fairy tale like Eichel or McDavid or whatever, true #1 centers, getting Newhook as a high end 2/possible 1 basically insulates us down the middle indefinitely. Zibanejad stays? Newhook is a dominant #2 center, Chytil moves to wing. Zibanejad goes or is traded? Newhook and Chytil are both elite #2 centers/functional #1 centers, especially surrounded by unending wing talent in Kakko, Panarin, Kravtsov, Buch, and our 2020 first round pick, Alexander Holtz.
I would ADD to get Newhook. Too bad.
