I don't think they were that similar, but that just helps the argument nonetheless.jarome Iginla who scored 30 goals at 36
The Rangers primary objective should be to shed salary.
Press conference = resigning. I am guessing.
Why's that? If the Rangers could extend Kreider for 6x6.5 that is money well spent--he could be a big part of the retooling--and that contract wouldn't be a beast. If he won't budge on 7x7.5 then you have a point. I still think the Rangers could sneak into the playoffs and surprise some teams. Shesterkin looks unbeatable right now--sometimes these young goalies get hot and go on a miracle run--look at Binnington last year.
So what was this press conference? Thought it was at 11?

Everyone keeps acting liking the Rangers are lowballing Kreider solely over concerns about how he will age. The Rangers are getting hit hard next year by Shattenkirk’s buy out penalty, their total penalty is 7.5m, and a bought out Lundqvist still has a 5,5m cap hit. Add the fact that Deangelo, Strome, Lemieux and Georgiev will be RFAs with arbitration rights and the Rangers have a terrible cap crunch to negotiate. The Rangers could very much want to keep Kreider but can’t make his salary fit next year.
The most frustrating thing for the team must be that it would be much easier to keep him if he became a UFA after next season. Hank will be gone, their buy penalties only total 2.5m and the salary cap will have obviously increased in both off-seasons. I’m guessing the Rangers simply can’t make the numbers work now unless Kreider took a very team friendly deal.
I’ve been waiting for St. Louis or Dallas to swoop in and grab Kreider to put themselves in a very powerful position for a Cup run.
Still waiting....
This guy better be moved today. The Rangers primary objective should be to shed salary.
