We don't know the AAV yet, but 7 years for Chris Kreider seems crazy

NHL Network Radio has it at $6.5M AAV. Which if true...yowza, that’s a ton of change

6.5, pretty big number for a guy who's never hit 55 points.

NYR is going to regret that in 2 years, yikes

 

[JabbaJabba]

Why would you give Kreider that kind of contract? Never hit 55 points, physical player turning 30 next year. He's just not going to be worth that contract and unlikely to be able to play through it either.

Grant to Philly

Philly gets both Thompson and Grant, really loaded up on depth I guess?

 

[Goose of Reason]

Elite 1C better be back July 1st

 

[dracom]

not a fan of this trade at first glace. looking more into I hate this trade. Not even worth moving Grant for.

 

[Ducks DVM]

I expect Grant to be moved for a 3-5th
I expect MDZ to be moved for a 5-7th
I expect 1-3 AHL trades
I expect Miller has elected to stay in Anaheim
I expect most of our other work to be done after the draft lottery
I expect nobody on these boards will be happy today regardless

I think it would be a very tank commander move to trade Backes with 50% retention for a 4-7th round pick, but he’s not healthy enough. (Just for funsies)

Yeah, that's going to get ugly, but when have the Rangers ever been afraid to throw a wheelbarrow of cash at a player?

 

[Ducks DVM]

There’s making the team worse to make the team better, then there’s just making the team worse. They just called it a wash getting back what they traded for him.

 

[Getzmonster]

Would have rather just had a better pick for Grant without the extra player thrown in.

 

[bumperkisser]

whats the point in keeping grant for a 4th? I'm fine with the trade. get as much picks as possible. If we were gonna resign him we could've done it before the TDL.

Now anyone can resign him and I'm sure Derek will want to hit July 1 anyway. Good for grant as well to go on a cup run to see if he can possibly up his own value as it'll probably be his 1 crack at a great contract for himself.

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

A 4th and a career AHLer?

 

[The Duck Knight]

 

[paine]

What did you expect to receive for Grant? 3rd round pick was the best case scenario.

 

[Static]

I'll be shocked if anyone bites on shore.

 

[paine]

What did you expect to receive for Grant? 3rd round pick was the best case scenario.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Maybe there was team that really coveted Kyle Crisuolo so they needed to acquire him as the carrot to move Shire?

 

[Ducks DVM]

What did you expect to receive for Grant? 3rd round pick was the best case scenario.

The 4th alone is better than the 4th with a contract who won’t actually improve the Gulls either.

 

[Mortal Wombat]

So Grant could have been had for a late third and nobody stepped up? Stupid gms. And Bob dropped the ball here, not even worth trading him for that return. Rather have him play and send Steel to San Diego.

 

[The Mighty Duck Man]

The 4th alone is better than the 4th with a contract who won’t actually improve the Gulls either.

Why won't he improve the Gulls? Seems like a good enough AHL player, they aren't that deep.

 

[Static]

Why the hell does buffalo need Wayne Simmonds?

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Meh kinda expected for grant trade... kinda surprised... thought we might squeeze a 3rd out, surprised no other teams bid higher than that tho.
