Rangers should have tried to get the 1st and re-sign him over the summer. What are they even doing? Are they rebuilding or going with this roster that will have cap problems soon?

I assume ADA and Henrik are gone at minimum because of this.

With how the rangers are playing now they have a legitimate shot at making the playoffs, so this is good for them

The wise play would be to tell him you'll sign him this summer, but trade him for additional assets now

Makes sense.. basically the Rangers recent streak forced the management to get a deal done now.

Trading him now would've just been a big middle finger to everyone in the locker room, but at the same time the Rangers aren't in a position to let top 6 guys walk for nothing.

Which means Kreider had a lot of leverage here. Im expecting a good deal for him.
