Rumor: Kreider's NO Trade List includes ALL Canadian teams (Speculation on Destination)

"Haaay Screw You Buddy!"

 

[sufferer]

GIVE ME NEWHOOK AND BYRAM!!!!

.....a first and Kaut will do to....

With Kakko going the other way, as well.

 

[Empoleon8771]

yeah, but that has more to do with his wife I think.

I think that's a part of it, but I also think that a lot of American players are turned off by the idea of playing for a Canadian market for various reasons.

 

[TheGoldenGod]

lol poor Canada

I have faith in Sakic not to do something monumentally stupid like that. That would be one of the worst deals in a long, long time IMO.
Given that he faces 0 pressure one can only hope that he is smarter than that. Kreider even at those moderate numbers will be a bad contract fairly soon IMO (only rivalled by Landeskog who will get his bad extension for sure) and given up Newhook and a 1st for the privilege of running 3 goalies and screwing up your cap sucks a bit to say the least.

I hope and believe the cutoff point for Sakic is Kaut and a 1st for Kreider. And I really, really hate that deal with a passion already as well.

Kaut and a first would be a blessing. Kreider is the perfect sandpaper scoring forward. He's been immensely better than landeskog this season and we most definitely need top 6 help.

It would be great if all top Canadian players would only play for canadian teams even if drafted by american teams

A true American boy. I respect it.

Who wants to be traded to Canada in February?

I get it’s a joke but Vancouver is beautiful in the spring. There are worse cities to get traded to.

I think Biznasty said this, but I heard him say based on who he’s talked to, the general feeling is that it would be fun to play in Canada for a little bit, but then go play in the U.S.

I get it, it would probably get old after a while with all the fan and media attention.

Folks still think Newhook is getting traded for a rental.


How delusional can you get?

I think he and his value is terribly overrated due to the worst crop of pending UFAs/available players at the deadline that I can remember.
I also believe he is a very decent bet to be a really bad contract the moment he signs on July 1st.

Do we need top6 help right now with all these injuries? Yeah.
Will we make the playoffs if we stand pat and wait for the guys to return ? Very likely. Will we win a cup with all these guys injured/banged up just because we gave up a boatload for Kreider. Very unlikely.

The very best move for Sakic is to stand pat or atleast keep all his higher end assets including the 1st off the table and see what he can get for B-prospects and later round picks on deadline day.

Significantly overpaying for a Kreider would be a pretty horrible idea IMHO.

Vancouver sure, but everywhere else is cold.

 

[DJB]

So you're saying that he likely won't be traded to a Canadian team?

 

[llamateizer]

11 team no trade list.
who are the last 4?

 

[Profet]

I always chuckle when I see guys who won’t play for any Canadian teams most often due to the pressure & attention (don’t know his reasoning).......makes me think thank god we didn’t trade for that guy.

More likely... its the taxes, weather and did I mention the taxes?

I’m not saying you’re wrong but usually posts like this don’t age well. Quoting just incase.

 

[Empoleon8771]

I don't know about the other 3, but Buffalo is basically Canada and they suck so they're probably on his NTC too.

 

[ottomaddox]

Time for TAMPa to fork out large for another NYR.

 

[Langdon Alger]

maybe he gets traded to Aspen where the beer flows like wine.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Avs 1st + Beaucage for Kreider will be the deal if he ends up in Denver.


Pretty good deal for both sides and would really load up the Avs come playoff time.

 

[sabresEH]

Vancouver sure, but everywhere else is cold.

I just spoke to my boss this morning. He lives in Sherwood Park Alberta. Temperature there -17 he said.
Here in Kelowna +2 and sunny.

11 team no trade list.

if I had to guess it wouldn’t be any bottom feeders who are unlikely to trade for a rental like DET or Jersey. That way he could have a bit more say in where he goes.

 

[Profet]

Most likely?

Buffalo + 3 western conference teams.

I bet NY would want more, but I think its okay value. Avs add a conditional 4th if Kreider re-signs at least.

He and Tortorella didn't get along when Torts was here, so possibly Columbus? Then again there has been some very quiet rumblings that CBJ has interest.

After that, I'm not sure.

GM's and coaches can't rely on prospects idealistic development. They are paid to win now and proven commodities are much more valuable than magic beans.
Kreider is a proven commodity who brings a physical presence that very few wingers can. That kind of game is invaluable in the playoffs and GM's/coaches know it. That is why so many teams are in on Kreider.
