Thread: PLD to NYR
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Skeating622</b></div><div>That probably means that its not enough apparently!
NYR would need to move a contract to any deal to add PLD &amp; CLB was 28th in PPG's last year, TD's 19 PPP &amp; 53 overall points aren't nothing to sneeze at.
NYR are thin at C organizationally as far something to offer back at that position.</div></div>

I think it's fair, it really comes down to what CBJ values and I think Torts would love a guy like Howden. I think CBJ fans are expecting a kings ransom (which they should) but how many NHL trades have we heard rumored that the reality is always less than the expectation?

CBJ will have its bidders, but I think NYR have a strong offer with 1 of Strome, Tony D, or Buch/ Chytil or Howden/ and a top prospect and pick.

Thread: Tougher to play against-JD
Totally fair, but Bennett is a 2 way Center who would immediately make us better defensively and is a historically good playoff performer. On a cheap deal I could see JD being interested in him and Chytil and Bennett being the middle 6 C.

Smith/Fast I agree with, reason I signed both is they both can move up and down the lineup relatively easily. I don't think Kravtsov is NHL ready yet, probably a year away still, the Fast/Smith deals allow them to be exposed to the draft or relatively easy deals to move if Kravtsov comes up and becomes a mainstay.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Philu916</b></div><div>Here’s the thing, Bennet is having a nice playoff but is this him maturing and getting better in the league, or is this due to long layoffs with the whole league? It’s kind of hard to throw a 12 pt player in 54 games to a 2C role the following season. Absolutely nothing against a Craig Smith signing, but having both Smith and Fast totally buries Kravtsov. Can’t do that. Even if Kravtsov plays 3/4 line he needs to play this season. I think it’s either Smith or Fast and let Kravtsov be the other RW. I do assume the idea is that Seattle would take one of those 2 in expansion draft but he needs to develop here not Hartford at least not a full season there. Part of why he went back to Russia. Can’t have that again as he’d never come back at that point.</div></div>

Thread: New York Rangers signed Chris Kreider (7 Years / $6,500,000 AAV)
Term is the only issue, 5 years would have been ideal, thought they'd settle on 6, but ended up 7.

The Rangers have the prospects, they have the assets, but they don't have the experience and veteran leadership championship teams have to have. Locking up Kreids means this team chose the direction they want to go and I agree with it. Selling off this deadline would push the window back another 2-3 years, with a few minor tweaks this offseason and adding some veteran depth, this team could make the playoffs next year.

Also, in 1 year like 25 mill is coming off the books for the Rangers. This is a move knowing full well they only have 1 more year until they can make major moves and capitalize on prime Kreider,Panarin,Zibanejad.
