There was a time I loved Kreider's game. As frustrating as it was because there was more there. However, he and Zibanejad started to poison the team every second year with the coach they had. He had to go. He sure as hell isn't the last one.
On Carey Terrance. Was the captain of his team and played on two WJC teams. That is a pretty good sign. Makes me feel better about him. Not projected to be a top 2 center guy but this team sure as hell lacks leadership. Who Is Carey Terrance? Meet the Young Center Headed to New York in the Chris Kreider Trade - GU News
Seems to me this is an absolute slam dunk trade to start what will hopefully be an active summer for the Rangers. The fact they got a former 2nd round pick AND moved up about 15 spots in the draft are the cherries on top of shedding Kreider's full $6.5M the next two seasons. The keys will be what does Drury do with that extra cap space, and what other moves to break up the core are forthcoming. That will define whether or not the summer was a success, but this is a great start.
Boyle hinted on the Rangers podcast that Fox doesn't workout nearly enough in the gym and needs to get his head out of his ass and starting getting stronger.
Kreider was a must-go. There was just no use for him here any further. Too soft and expensive for the bottom 2 lines and not good enough to play on the top 2 lines. Great in the PK, but that was it. Dominoes need to continue rolling, though. We need to do more moves from here.
Rangers fans have always been complete candy asses when it comes to letting fan favorites go when they’re older. Drury wants to make several moves from all reports. I doubt Bennett will come here, he’ll probably re-sign in Florida. Marner might be a fit here if Drury can dump enough salary. I’d rather have Bennett, but doesn’t look like that will happen.
Every team can use a guy like Sam Bennett. I am hopeful Cuylle continues on his trajectory, he could definitely be a Bennett-type.
