Speculation: Roster Building Thread XXXIV: Walk the line into the ring of fire

[Ghost of jas]

Edge and rest of the board - please accept my pre-apologies. I know there is a protocol here and I don't want to get flamed. If you can't answer - I understand. Given that the gap is so far apart, has Kreider's agent been given permission to talk extension with other teams? Go easy on me guys - I would think it was discussed but couldn't find it.

Now you've done it...

 

[Cyclones21]

No you've done it...

I have no doubt Kreider could ask for more than 7x7 and get it

Hayes got more and while he is a center, Kreider is the better player

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Like Panarin to Miami

I think he may be regretting that decision.

Unfortunately, in a few years we may be too.

i wish I could get a clear answer on what significant means. But I am starting to suspect he might want more than $7 million. But that’s me speculating. No one has given me a number.

For five years, I’d think the Rangers would be amenable, no? It’s term that’s the issue, would you say?

Jas once dated Pat Hickeys grandma. Now get off his stoop before he gets to shoo-ing.

Love that jersey on Hickey. I’d be so impressed if they made that an alternate look.

Wrong.

He babysat Pat Hickey's grandma.

Sure but the question is will he be happy somewhere else or would he take less to be somewhere he loves.

And grow...

Yep. Kreider is a difference-maker. Maybe not always, but he has an extra gear, when compared to Hayes.
Not that I think Kreider has essentially changed as a player, despite his recent amazing play. And I would definitely expect more of what we’re used to over the past few seasons, we’re he to re-sign.
But I still think inconsistent Kreider is a more valuable player than Hayes.

At this point I’m putting my trust in Gorton to do the right thing, which is not budge on a ridiculous contract for Kreider and move him

At this point I feel like Gorton hasn't done anything and we will either trade him for pennies on the dollar or lose him to FA and get nothing

Yeah man Gorts is just sitting around shitposting on HF all day. Grontins pls

 

[Doriva]

Until today I was very much in the keep Kreider camp but I've come around on the idea of trading him.
If we stay with the current formula of Zibby + Panarin being ppg guys on seperate lines for the forseeable future, all we really need the likes of Kakko/Buch/Kravtsov to be are 40-60 point support players, kind of like Kreider is now.
Having the ability to pay those guys long term and use the futures we receive from Kreider to either package for a star D or keep the flow of ELC depth for our true window is a no-brainer for me. No need to rush the process.

 

[kovazub94]

for me. Not really. I’ve always been more conservative on the potential return.

@jas has worn me down a little and made me more receptive to keeping Kreider. But I still think it’s going to be an uphill challenge.

Et tu, @Edge ???

And 60/40 that @jas is secretly snickering on his new bed.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

I’m sure there’s plenty of places he’ll be happy when he signs a 50 million dollar deal

Let's talk...

 

[duhmetreE]

Logic prevails

Hank is a healthy scratch.

Either something is up or the Rangers are trolling us.

 

[bleedblue94]

Utter mayhem, with some people uninstalling their web browsers never to visit this site or root for the team again.

One can hope...
