RangersIn7 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 11.6 is fair for market. He’s one of the most talented and productive offensive players in the league. And supposedly he left money on the table. Obviously the back end of the deal, mostly the last 2 seasons of it, are a concern. But the first 4, and probably 5 seasons of the deal, should be excellent. I’d be disappointed if they didn’t get 400 really excellent NHL regular season games wherein he’s a top offensive producer. The guy is elite. He was going to get paid like it by someone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindG1000 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Hard to say around the last 4 or 5 seasons, tbqh. New TV deal coming, CBA renegotiations; this is a deal that the Rangers make knowing full well that the parameters will almost assuredly change in 2021.

You still signed one of the better offensive players in the league, and most of those years he will be in his prime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tphilly5 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Now we need to park him next to Mika to get max return. The other wing on that line would not be a bad place to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatfrancesa Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Didn?t want this contract but hope he proves me wrong. Agreed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 It'll be interesting to see where Anders Lee winds up, and how much gets. I think he gets $9 million easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlairBettsBlocksEverything Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 If they can sign CK to a cap friendly deal and keep him, the Rangers will be a good tough team to play. as much as I'd like to be able to keep Kreider, given the cap situation now I don't think it's possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangersIn7 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Gotta hand it to Gorton. In a few short weeks he added an elite prospect and potential franchise player in Kakko, the best available defenseman in Trouba, signed on the league best offensive players in Panarin, got Kravtsov and Shestyorkin under contract, and also added Adam Fox He?s been aggressive and effective. Good time to be a Rangers fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tphilly5 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 as much as I'd like to be able to keep Kreider, given the cap situation now I don't think it's possible Agreed. They will probably need his current $5m just to be under the cap. Never know tho. Maybe Kreider really wants to stay and takes a Zuc 5/$30m to get it done.

Long live the King Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Hopefully he has the same chemistry that Mika and kreider had. Krieder pre-Zibanejad career high of 46 points. Post-Zibanejad 53 points. Panarin is a ppg player no matter who he plays with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sod16 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Would prefer Kreider and $5m of space over Panarin. Rebuild on roids. The scoresheet on signings like this reads Fluery, Holik, Gomez, Richards, Redden and Drury on one side and Gaborik on the other. I wonder if the "money on the table" was not Islanders or FLA offers but the last minute Columbus one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the money "left on the table" doesn't seem too significant, we are still paying him 11.6 mil per season which IMO is still insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
