Unless someone similar is coming back, the rangers need a shoot first guy and someone with his speed

Rangers could deal him at the deadline or before. That could happen, but it's highly unlikely that a team offers enough now knowing that they will have to wait to get a very rusty player back.

If Kreider is dealt, it's more likely at the draft

 

[JayMan82]

Ai yi yi, I guess no one is safe in this firesale!

 

[Savant]

Would imagine they’d want a Dman back or (futures)

 

[WingsMJN2965]

Meh. NYR would be stupid to move him at a lessened value and other teams would be stupid to pay full price until you can be more certain this isn't going to be a reoccurring issue.

 

[Alluckks]

I see him among the least likely players to be dealt. If I had 5 tiers of being dealt, with 1 being most likely and 5 being least it would go

1: Nash, Grabner, Holden, Dijon Mustard
2: McDonagh, Zuccarello
3: Miller, Hayes, Fast, Vesey
4. Kreider, Shattenkirk, Zibanejad, DeAngelo
5. Lundqvist, Skjei, Buchnevich

Prospects not included, Staal and Smith not included because reasons

 

[EpicDing]

Any deal with Kreider shouldn't be "low level"

I really don’t attribute much credibility to Dreger anymore. A “lower level” deal with Kreider doesn’t sound right to me. Kreider is probably one of the more valuable assets on the Rangers.

Rangers: Hey everyone, we're going to rebuild

Dreger: I think this means they will trade someone who's value is extremely low due to injury

Kreider for Klefbom work for you?

 

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

I don't think low level means low return.

 

[Ori]

Anything can happen - Glen Sather mention brief since he has a lifetime experience with rebuilds; `it`s not easy.`

 

[Jee]

[Insert any Rangers player here] could be moved.

 

[Legend123]

I admire their rebuild intentions but what they are doing is certainly anti-competitive, destroying the integrity of the game, especially with informal announcements of one.

Can you elaborate on your incredibly dramatic post?

Can you elaborate on your incredibly dramatic post?

I think he's suggesting that it's strange a team just 3 points out of a playoff spot, with ~30 games to go, is publicly announcing "screw it, we're rebuilding." I don't expect the Rangers to make it in regardless of what they do, but the Rangers' management is, for all intents and purposes, announcing that they are sort of tanking for the rest of the year and that they don't even want to be in the playoffs. You don't publicly announce the beginning of a rebuild if you want to win. It's frankly a really weird thing to announce in the midst of a season, when the team is still sort of middle of the pack. It's the sort of announcement you either never expect, or expect at the end of a season when the team has naturally had a really poor finish.

Openly rebuilding is defeating the purpose of competitiveness. If you Rebuild, don't announce it and let your players know full well what's going on.

Unless they bench Hank for the rest of the year, you cannot say they are trying to tank. He alone can steal games.

Pretty much this.

Benching Lunq will have the NHL sticking their noses around.

How about Miller instead?

 

[Hire Sather]

No way I'm dealing him right now.

I take the chance he builds his value back up

They have 3 wins in regulation in the past 20 games

You obviously were not watching when Buffalo traded any goalie that tried to win a game the year they were going for McDavid. NHL did not care a lick, and Arizona was trying just as hard to lose every game that year, it was the most obvious front office sabotage job I have seen in recent years.
