It does if we add something and get DeBrusk back somehow.
Can you add a 2nd line RW? Because that's the only way it makes sense

Kreider as a Bruin makes too much sense not to happen.
That's a very "love-hate" statement. I respect get hate both the player and team mentioned...hah

With injuries, and losing the last 3 games, the situation has changed from several months ago.
Dallas is almost silently in 1st place......they could be a dark horse on Kreider.

Mark Stone was essentially moved for Brannstrom, who’s a lesser prospect than Byram is. You don’t see teams trading blue-chip defensemen for rentals. Lots of 2nd tier prospects get moved, but never guys like Byram.
Byram returns a Zibanejad type, not a Kreider.
So translation no lol.....he's a streaky player very good pickup but not a savior.....another piece of the puzzle for a team.....still believe it's in his best interest to stay a NYR a great fit in their top six for next few years.

In Colorado Kreider will play on the 1st line with MacKinnon, in Boston he'll play on the 2nd line with Krejci.
Winning aside, if I'm Kreider and want to get paid as a free agent next year, I rather play with MacK, put up tons of points and up my price.

Byram returns a number 1 center and over a ppg player who plays a very good defensive game/pk'er? Can we wait until Byram plays an nhl game to have him be part of Johansen/Jones type of trade.

Well, probably not 1 for 1 but the point is Byram doesn't get moved for a bandaid player like Kreider. He gets traded for a younger established piece that costs more than just Byram. Otherwise why not just roll the dice and see if he reaches his potential? That potential is pretty sick.
Yeah definitely not one for one. Number one centers in this league are the toughest thing to acquire IMO. especially ones that play defense too. Kreider does not bring back Byram but I also think Kreider would be more than just a bandaid on a team like Colorado. Along with the Bruins its the one team I could see him signing with. Don't the Avs have decent amount of cap space?

Well if the Rangers do decide to move Chris he should go to the team that offers the best deal. I'm pretty sure the Rangers really liked Newhook at last year's draft and if he is off the table I can see that being a team other than Colorado. Just saying.

I know, I'm just saying if I'm Kreider and those two teams want me, I'd prefer playing with MacK rather than Krejci, no offense

He is from Massachusetts and went to BC for college. He might have different priorities.

That's kind of a maybe. I wouldn't compare Krejci to MacKinnon for sure but if Kreider doesn't sign with the Rangers the Bruins are the most likely IMO. He has a home in Connecticut and he grew up north of Boston and a Bruin fan. Playing with MacKinnon would really be a great experience but playing for the team you grew up a fan of and not being too far away from your home is worth consideration too. I think he'd be fine being traded to either if that's what it comes to but I really think he'd prefer staying with the Rangers. As a free agent if it's not the Rangers I'd bet on Boston if they have the cap space anyway.
Byram for Kreider(Extended) + Georgiev(Extended) is something I could see happening.
Avs wouldn't be adding anything else but I think that's a fair deal.

I dont disagree, but I have heard from players that some prefer to play in their home town or state, and for some it's important what line and with whom they're gonna play with on a new team, and the role they're gonna have. On the Avs Kreider will be the 2nd leading scorer this year, will definitely play on the top line with MacKinnon, and Avs have the cap space and room to keep him.

The Goofus line and the Gallant line. (If you don't know who Goofus and Gallant are, you aren't dumb - I'm just old).
