Seannnp Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Whilst we have an established legit #1 line in Miller, Petey, and Boes our biggest hole remains a top 6 winger to compliment Horvat. Leivo and Pearson have done an admirable job this year but neither of them can be considered top 6 players in the long run. What would it take to get Chris Kreider out of NYR or would it better to persuade him during the free season. He has topped out at 53 points but plays a hard, gritty game with pace and has the tools to be an all around playmaker/scorer that can create space for Horvat. He is a free agent at the end of this year and don't think NYR wants him back or that he would want to return whilst they are rebuilding. Nevertheless, they wont be letting him go for free Rafferty/Rathbone/Lind (all are progressing well and have been having good seasons for far) Goldobin (can join their glut of Russian prospects) 3rd round pick in 2020 (2nd rounder if we make the Stanley Cup finals lol) Does this get it done? Is it better just to wait and take our chance in FA and hope no one outbids us? 25-27.5million/5 years would be good value to extend him prior to July 1, 2019 Future Lineup Miller Petey Boeser Kreider Horvat Virtanen Podkolzin Gaudette Hoglander Roussel ????

48MPHSlapShot Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I'd rather not cough up any future assets on a 28 year old player that would only be 10th on the team in points, especially considering he's on an expiring contract. Good player, but not really worth it imho. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkyard Dog Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Quality player that you'd love to have and don't like playing against but not worth it at this time. We are not in a position to sign anyone big for a few years till we got everyone else signed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I think for now we should only be looking at rentals or players who only have a year left on their contract after this year. Would love to get Kreider though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurn Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 (edited) If they trade for him, it has to be a sign and trade, as the Canucks, imo, do not have the assets to aquire him and then see him walk at the end of the season. Never mind- research(Cap Friendly) shows him as an RFA, not UFA Edited December 11, 2019 by gurn research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
