Player Discussion Chris Kreider: Part III

[Pawnee Rangers]

Edge has let us know that they are "far apart." Odds are that that means Kreider is not looking to take a (large) discount.

Lol, then he signs elsewhere. We aren't unearthing any new insights here. It's been the same story all season long.

Just think about the leaps it takes to try to invalidate MH's point that Kreider is a multi-millionaire, set to further his multi-million dollar earnings no matter what deal he takes. And to be clear, I've worked two years as a commercial fisherman (the second most dangerous job in the States), so I'm apparently very qualified to speak on our sister-career, professional athlete...

How many people can do MH's job and how many can do Krieder's?

 

[duhmetreE]

If Kreider signs here, he is set for life. Never mind the contract, he'd have a post-career life-long front office job.



Simple and stupid caveman analogy.

Group A offers you $40M for 6 years to be their sex slave.
Group B offers you $50M for 7 years to be their sex slave.





Group A is Shakira and Adriana Lima.
Group B is Whoopi Goldberg and Caitlyn Jenner.



who do you pick?

How does Whoopi feel about long walks on the beach?

You make it sound like the Rangers wouldn't be paying him OVER 40 million dollars for the next seven years. He can retire a multimillion at 36 years old.

 

[True Blue]

No offense taken, no one elected me anything, and I hope he makes more money than Jeff Bezos. I've seen you put a strict limit on what you're willing to pay a player. WHO ARE YOU TO DETERMINE WHAT A PLAYER IS WORTH, BERNIE?!?!?!

So let's get some things straight. I NEVER put limits on what i would pay a player. I put limits for what I would pay Kreider, were I Gorton. Other GMs on other teams and this GM on this team does as well. Krieder has the right to seek a much money as possible.

What I state I would do with the future of the Rangers, were I in charge, is quite different than advocating how much anyone should get paid. So please, let's do away with this BS. You are better than this and know exactly what I meant.

Were you screaming at the top of your lungs when Panarin turned down 12.5m a year from the Islanders?

Ummm.....that is called choice which is entirely dependent on what an individual decides is right for them based on their situation. Not what is based on situations of fans on a message board.

 

[Captain Lindy]

You guys are getting lost in the weeds here. LOL!!

 

[NYRangers0723]

Kreider is a smart dude. I’m sure he can do very well in life after hockey. I’ve always gotten the sense that he loves it here and the only other place he would sign is maybe Boston who probably can’t afford him anyway other than just being a rental. If both sides really were that far apart I would think he would have been traded by now that’s just my personal belief

 

[True Blue]

who do you pick?

A) depends on individual you ask B) beauty is in eye of beholder.

 

[True Blue]

How does Whoopi feel about long walks on the beach?

And pina coladas?

 

[Bleed Ranger Blue]

Same shit, different day

The trade deadline is in a few days. I'm sure Kreider will come to the realization he just loves the Rangers so much and will take whatever they're offering within the next several hours.

Does this weird analogy take into account that the Rangers were Shakira/Lima the first half of his tenure here and Whoopi the last half?

Point being, I don't think he has any sweet dreams of contending here anytime soon based on their last few years.

Ok, so it would be his choice to take less to play for the Rangers. I never said he should, has to, must or is disloyal, not once did I say that. I said that if he wants to stay, likes it here and wants to be part of the future he has to take less than what he would get on the open market. I don't understand what the big deal is. And then said, would it be that bad in the grand scheme of things if he made 60m instead of 67m over the course of his career. That's it. You flew off the handle, not me.

 

[True Blue]

Didn't mean it that way. Just have personal distaste when people think they have right to tell other people what they should or should not make and the circumstances. If I misinterpreted, my bad.

No worries. It was more an observation of what he'd need to do to stay.

Classic derailed HF thread. Lol

I heard they offered him 2 years, 4 million per. I hope he takes it.

There I agree as do I think we all are. There is absolutely a path to keep him. But it is all up to him on what is most important. Stay and lead the team he has always played for back to prominence, as a leader. Or take the most amount of money.

Totally agree. They should pin your post and close this thread because that's it in a nutshell. And to be clear, I still think he's getting traded.

 

[Unusual Suspect]

I am not some libtard socialist, I am believe in capitalism

I think you just proved the "Embryo" tag completely "on the money". Good Lord.

I don’t think signing with Team B equals that big of a drop off

I think you're massively overrating the attractiveness in staying in NY for a hockey player.

 

[MetalJaws]

Did Kreider Fast and a 3rd go to Edm for Pool party and a 1st??

Why did NHL network just put that on the screen. In a location without sound. Please help
