Dreger: Kreider most likely to be traded after contract talks. 1st Rounder on the table.

[Lindberg Cheese]

Also, another point on Grzelcyk, right now the Rangers (without trades), have 4 Dmen virtually guaranteed to be back next season. 3 are RHD (Trouba, DeAngelo, Fox), one is a LHD (Skjei). The Rangers have 1 who is highly likely to be back, a LHD (Ryan Lindgren). The Rangers have 2 who are likely to be back short of a buyout or trade, both LHDs (Smith & Staal). The Rangers have at least 2 LHD prospects knocking on the door (Rykov & Hajek).

Unless Staal or Smith are traded or bought out, there's Just. Not. Space.

EDIT: There are also at least 2 RHDs that could make a roster push (Nils Lundkvist & Joey Keane) next season, and K'Andre Miller in another year or so

So basically we need another D back in a trade

Not just any D, one that we would have to protect, of course..

The Athletic has the Islanders as one of 3 teams on Kreider.

What would that trade look like?

No rental garbage..would have to be a signed Kreider or agreement to re sign after trade.

Whalstrom

 

[Tres Peleches]

Whalstrom

As an Isles fan I’d do that + something if Kreider is willing to sign an extension

 

[Mugless]

Beecher + Frederic + #2

 

[TGWL]

I soured on wahlstrom. Maybe he developed into great player for them, but i'm a little skeptical now. If Kreider was agreeing to an extension, the offer would be more than what we're looking for now. Instead of 1st + real good prospect/young roster player ready to take on a bigger opportunity/change of scenery player, it would be 1st, + #1/2 prospect in your organization, (assuming they're aren't recent top 5 draft picks - we're not getting a Bowen Byram, Turcotte, or Kotkaniemi)

It would be hard to pull the trigger on 1st, + Wahlstrom and see Kreider signed 7 years with Islanders. Although I can only imagine how good Wahlstome would be with Panarin feeding him the pass. I mean, IT HAS TO BE BETTER THAN FAST FUMBLING EVERY PASS!!

If Kreider doesn’t resign with Rangers he’s not signing till he sees what Bruins have to say July 1 unless they get him

His parents house is a 20 minute drive down route to TD Garden and he his agent and family are well aware the Bruins are on his radar

 

[Disgraced Cosmonaut]

He'd be almost too ideal on the Isles, but the Isles and Rangers "can't" trade... Won't happen.

Isles have not given up on Wahlstrom, btw. Lou is seasoning him.

 

[cwede]

I cant see Kreider signing with Isles, he will have choices and would likely avoid the drama

Not a dig at Isles, the improvement under Lou, Trotz is admirable.

Just a scenario i believe he would avoid if he has comparable offers that met his criteria

The price for the Isles to get him is higher than literally anyone else. It's the kind of move that could have fans turning on him on a dime.

I wouldn’t take what Carpiniello says too seriously. He’s a bad journalist and rarely has any sources.

Beecher + Frederic + #2

Beecher and a 1st would be my ask. A first and a guy with middle 6 potential. It’s not unlike would they got in return from WPG for Hayes.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Whalstrom

No thanks.

 

[aufheben]

The Yzerman & the Red Wings renting Kreider is more likely than him being traded to the Islanders.

 

[Hookslide]

Beecher + Frederic + #2

Bruins pass.......

Or Strudnika and a 2nd

Fine by me, but doubt he’s moved.

 

[Chardo]

Forget the Islanders. There has never been a significant player traded between the Rangers and Islanders.

 

[Calad]

Another huge goal from Kreider

 

[Calad]

Forget the Islanders. There has never been a significant player traded between the Rangers and Islanders.

And that doesn't even consider that greasy Lou is at the helm, who refuses to deal with the Rangers (at least as Devils GM, can't see why this would change as Islanders GM)

 

[Flyer lurker]

Krieder's run is ridiculous. He might get more than the Hayes contract.

 

[Calad]

Krieder's run is ridiculous. He might get more than the Hayes contract.

With how bad the UFA market is looking, I see him getting 7.5/7 years at minimum

 

[Gargyn]

Well he is better than Hayes so I sure hope so.
