Confirmed with Link: Kreider extended 7 years, AAV approximately $6.5MM
- Thread starter Brooklyn Rangers Fan
- Start date
It’s a compromise. He took less money for one more year. I mean i would have loved 6 for 6.5 or even 6.75 but I knew there would have to be some compromise. Let’s be honest the offers they were getting were probably shit compared to the player they would be losing

Some bad takes in here that would have been equally bad if we traded him.
Based on the offers we heard we weren't getting a decent offer back. I agree with keeping him. Yes the term is long but its they price they paid for less AAV.

Change is good.
My heart is happy to have him back, but my head is unhappy with the terms.
The AAV is spot on. The duration is two years too long.
Let's see what the NM provisions are...

Very happy. 7th year sucks, but 6.5 is a very good cap hit for Kreider.
I've gone on forever about how unique he is and how I really think him being part of this core is important.
Slap a C on his chest.

Is there some data to show that there's a huge drop off in play between age 35 and 36? I don't understand why everyone was fine with 6 years but is going crazy with 7.

Glad Kreider is staying around. He’s the only guy from the old mid 2010s guard I would have re-signed. Can’t trade everyone.
Hope this place gets their hate out of their system now because if I have to read constant lamenting about Gorton caving on one year of a contract I’m probably just gonna avoid this place.

He would have gotten more money as a free agent.
I don't like the seventh year.
I'm okay about this. I want to see what else we do.

Absolutely terrible. No foresight by Gorton at all.
Never going to re-sign all our young players in the future. Oh and all the better when Mika is up for his contract, probably won't be able to sign him either.
But hey, we got 50 point Mr Inconsistent for 7 year who will be declining halfway through his contract.

No way in hell you were signing him for 5 years that would have been a low ball offer. 6 years would have been the best
Disagree, giving 7 years to 29 year old power forward whose game is based on speed should’ve been a non-starter period. In a hard cap league, cap flexibility is very important, this signing will be regretful in a few years, trust me.

Ya it’s dumb. And this isn’t some mega contract that’s completely immoveable. If he sucks in those years, it won’t be that hard to deal with. 6.5M aav in 5 years will be nothing.

But the annual retooling around large cap hits and clauses has just begun.

It's an awful decision even without knowing what the clauses are. With the prices that were being paid today for UFA rentals, trading him was a no brainer.
Not to mention that the main reason the team is even sniffing the playoffs right now was just injured in a car accident last night and will be out of the lineup for weeks. This team is not making the playoffs without Igor in net. Trade Kreider for assets and say we'll talk to you in July

No because when he starts his decline in year 2-3 at least we could have said, Oh it's ok, we only have 2 more years, now we will be stuck with 4.

Gorton officially got got by one hot streak spearheaded by the guy who is out for the year anyway. This is pointless now that Igor is done.
These extensions for non-elite players that are approaching 30 never ever ever ever work out and are huge regrets by year 2-3.
And to cap it off where is the cap space to re-sign DeAngelo? Lemieux? I swear if Gorton has to trade Tony D because of this..

Yeah, I was ok with this till I heard about Shesty. He's going to fizzle in a few years, and will be impossible to move. I was in favor of "keeping the band together", but we lost a huge opportunity to continue to build with a Kreider trade. Oh well.
