Sam Bennett for Chris Kreider? More risk, but much younger and cost controlled for longer.
Is Kreider available? What would Ranger fans want for him?
No, CK is not realistically available.
Having an open mind means in theory, anybody is on the table, but it also means the better the player, unless there is some atypical x factor, the less likely he is to be moved without enough profit to make it worthwhile.
There are a few players better than Kreider, but they are not likely to be in a deal coming to NYR. And remember, Kreider is a unique combo of speed and power. Almost no comparable combo, esp available. And a guy like MacKinnon, who is a comparable on speed and less power but better hands, touch, etc, you don't want to include CK for him, you want to overpay with other currency within reason so you add CK to NM.
Again, Gorton knows what he is doing, clearing up overreaches by Sather for the win now crowd that never should have taken place.
Like everybody else we have some low, middle, and high end pieces. The higher up, the more you have to overpay to make it worth our while. Nobody good is being given away.
In short, we will build with the younger core which is cap favorable and move more senior vets for prospects/picks.
Zucc is the one and only piece I really want from the NYR,the guy never stops...Besides he can play with his buddy Brass here in Ottawa
Sens $ is as good as anybody else.
Just cough up the top bid.
Give us something tasty.
Trading McDonagh made sense in the summer if they didn't sign Smith and Shattenkirk. Now, not as much.
It is not etched in stone that these things are connected.
Growing pains be damned we should trade the seniors IF IF IF there is adequate return, and roll w/Skjei, Graves, Beargloves on left and Shatty and Pionk on RD. DeAngelo, probably a chip for something.
We are not married to Smith, and the bad start which is applicable to coach AV mostly, he can be moved.
And when the rebuild is over, who's our #1D?
Asked...
They draft, sign or trade for one. Like everyone else. How did LA get Doughty, how did TB get Hedman? You take a step back to take two steps forward.
answered!
Kopitar, Doughty, Carter.
That's pretty much what interests me from LA for Zuccarello.
No thanks.
No coke for pepsi
no senior vets for similar
BUILD with youth
