Krieder is 10 times the player both of Kappy and Johnson are rite now. There isnt to many players that bring everything Krieder brings... and im a god darn Pens fan, lol.
Agreed, here is why he's not worth either of them in a trade tho
1) he is much older, 28 I believe? Johnson is 24, Kap 22.
2) he only has one year left on his contract, therefor you may lose him after one season.
3) Kap and Johnson are both stilld eveloping and getting better and could easily become what Kreider is.
4) You have control over both of those guys for another 4 years on Kap and 3 on Johnson I believe.
5) Kreider makes more money than Johnson or Kap would, the team saving cap space in a trade is worth value, so that makes negative value on Kreiders side.
6) Kreider hardly outscored either of those two this season.
