confirmed: Rangers Re-Sign Chris Kreider to 7-Year/$45.5 M Extension; $6.5M AAV

Perspective: Zucc got five years at six per at age 31. Kreider seven years at not 29 yet for 6.5 per. Who wouldn't take the latter?

 

Would take the latter, but its still two bad contracts.

What Kreider contract would you have been good with?

"Sir, you have nut cancer."

 

"Left nut or right nut?"

 

"Left".

 

"Shit!"

"No, wait, we got it completely wrong!"

 

"Well that's a relief!"

"It's your right nut that's cancerous."

 

"Uh...OK...still shit."

What Kreider contract would you have been good with?

 

No more than 5 years x 7m. Would still hate the last year, but it would be fine with 1 year of 4th liner Kreider. 3 years is way too much.

lol now he's going to be a 4th liner in a few years ?

yes. His arms and legs are all going to fall off the year after next.

the last year of a 5 year deal will be in 2024/2025. Thats a 33/34 y old Kreider. I'm willing to bet a lot of money he's no more then a 4th liner at that point. Or we have a really bad team.

its not a bad deal. yeah it's one year too long but shit the dude keeps himself in great shape and is an asset in the locker room. he could be another jumbo down the road given the shape he's in.

 

happier with this deal than the skej deal or paying hank till he is 40.

Lol okay. I suppose dementia will be setting in around then so yeah.

I wouldn't expect anything different from Mr. Fish Fillet.

Really happy with the moves today. Obviously I felt losing CK would have left a huge void unless we got a monster return for him. Would I have preferred 6 years? Yeah but he took less money annually. Plus we got cap relief and a first rounder for Skjei who has regressed since signing a long term deal

4th liner at 33? We have insanely different opinions on how serviceable Kreider will be from ages 33-35. I can see why you would hate the deal given that. I don't see it being that drastic.

Yeah some people are losing it. I don’t believe in this thing that every player suddenly breaks down at 32-33 especially somebody as physical gifted as CK

Like the money hate the 7 years, but it's not terrible. Big question is. NMC, NTC? What'd they give him?

Guessing NMC. If not, at least a limited NTC. Don't think he ever wants to play in Canada.

Starting to come around in this, especially since we got a first and salary relief from Skjei deal.

 

Number is right in the sweet spot to avoid scrutiny during the slumps, which is fair.

 

Listening to league wide takes, no one thinks he'll finish this deal as a Ranger.

With the new deal in place is Kreider first in line to be the next captain?

 

(not that it means much of anything imo - but curious)

Probably not. Most don't. But that's a problem for years six and seven.

Possibly before then, but yes same sentiment.

Might be.

 

I still think even a 35 year old Kreider can park his ass in front of the goalie and do good things. 6.5m level good things? Depends on the cap.

We managed to keep him around for less than a 2m raise. I can’t see this being anything but good. We don’t lose him or try to fill the void of losing him. Also, as others said, ridding ourselves of a d contract in our surplus area really helps.

I think the deal is reasonable although in a perfect world 6 years would have been great. I don?t buy all this ?he is gonna break down quick? stuff I just don?t see it. I?ve seen plenty of people be fine late into their 30s. I?m not a professional but I?m 36 going on 37 and I play basketball against college kids a few times a week and blend in fine. And CK is a physical freak who is is smart about keeping himself in great shape so I don?t see an issue

Conversely, I'm 37 and can barely bend over to tie my shoes.

Pavelski can't skate. And still produced in front of the net.
