Hello there.

he’s more of a depth forward than top 6...he may not even be available because he’s an injury magnet...I’d rather have the better offensive player since we’re missing scoring with Jake sidelined, although if he costs only AG, then I’m happy to pick him up
Honestly, Kreider would be fine with me and great here and if it costs our first, I’d pay it as long as it was lottery protected and JR had a plan to recoup some picks in the draft, I.e. trading one of our goalies in June...
I think the big issue with Kreider is that we will be bidding against St. Louis and are in division.
True, we might have to play slightly more, maybe another mid range pick in 2021..but the Rangers have shown they’re willing to trade in division if that’s the best return...
If Kase ever stays Healthy, hes a top 6 option.
love the player but i wouldnt trade for him, just because hes more injury prone than beau bennett.
I'd rather acquire Zucker and trade Kahun in the off-season over convincing the Rangers to trade Kreider in the division and quite possibly give the Penguins another cup. It just seems dramatically easier to go after Zucker, and I don't see anything that makes me think Kreider is a substantially better player than Zucker.
i think JJ-schultz playing 3rd pair mins is a pretty okay pairing.
Why would the Rangers care about moving a rental inside the division?
They aren’t contending and it would make us weaker in the long term.
When was the last time a substantial rental was traded within the division? Do you think it would not look bad on the Rangers if they gave Kreider to an in-division rival and they ended up winning a cup because of it?
There's also the real possibility that the Penguins could re-sign Kreider, meaning they would be feeling the impact of that trade for years to come too. I don't think it's unreasonable to suggest that the Penguins could make Kreider at $7 million AAV work long-term, and that's probably a reasonable number for him to get based on the Kane contract.
lol...apparently we’re trying to outbid the Caps for Kovalchuk...please be wrong as usual Ek...
HockeyBuzz.com - Eklund - Getzlaf's Name Comes Up. Kovalchuk and the Pens/Caps? Leafs... Buzz@1
Ducks fans (two of them, at least) seem to have interest in the base of Addison+1st for one of their wingers. Not Silfverberg, though.
Caps: We offer a 1st
Pens: We offer a 1st and Addison
Caps: 1st, Ovy, Vrana
Pens: 1st, Crosby at 50%, Malkin at 50%, Addison, 1st, 2nd! *looks at Caps*
Caps: We fold...sucker!
Pens:
Montreal: No takebacks!
yeah, ANA is missing a RHD in their prospect pool but we only have one and he’s our best prospect...not giving up Addison for anything short of Pastrnak or something like him...
Pens 2 way system is simply not a fot for AG and it is certainly not a fit for him. Palmieri, Zucker are the best fits and worth paying a small premium for. some like Rakell but don't think he is on the market at all. Palmieri is not either but I think a very good deal can be offered and interest would be there.
The dude was available for 700k. The Pens had all the money. Why in the WORLD would they want him now? I do not buy that. That is just JR telling Caps they are looking so the Caps end up getting him.
I’d rather have Saad or Zucker than Kreider just looking at them all as players. Kreider is probably the only one available for futures right now, though. Minnesota and Chicago are both in positions to play “we might make the playoffs” and there’s no way to know when that will end, while the Rangers aren't.
I’m just not crazy enough about the options that have been floated for awhile to part with the 1st or a promising prospect. I would for someone like Rakell but I have a hard time believing he’ll be moved right now.
Personally I'm not a fan of the idea of bringing in Kase. At least not for the prices Anaheim fans are quoting. He's nothing more than an injury prone middle-sixer to me.
JR isn’t the hold up here.
Pretty sure people can figure out what that means.
Hopefully something can shake loose soon if Kauhn is still hurt because they need an infusion of skill in their top six badly.
That's because all but like 5 clubs think they are still in the hunt....
Because he’s producing in Montreal. If JR gets Kovalchuk, I’m going to be pissed because he could have gotten him for free. I didn’t want him but that screams knee jerk reaction and someone falling down on the job.
