Kreider should be a guy we look hard to acquire. I think Drury is vulnerable to a bit of a knee jerk reaction right now. I also believe they are looking for toughness that can play regular shifts. I believe they would have decent valuuation in Evander Kane after his March 1st NMC becomes a NTC for half the league. I would imagine the Rangers are not on his NTC. Kreider is big, skates decently, kills penalties & can obviously score.
Not really sure what Rangers want for Kreider, but they definitely want to get ride of the contract which is at $6.5 M for this season and 2 more. Kane is at $5.125 M for one more season after this one which would help NY with cap space moving forward.
My trade proposal is…
Kreider
For
Kane, 2 x 2nd rd picks (2025 & 2027) + a B prospect (Akey or Nichol?)
To add more context to Kane moving out…..If NY is thinking they r missing the playoffs, which looks more and more likely, then not having Kane availed this season would be fine for them. With Capitals having Wilson, this might be an area that NY wants to focus on.
Cap hit difference for us is $1.25 M this year. Again, not sure what NY is looking for Kreider but I would be inquiring heavily.
