Next year with Kreider

Yeah I mean after Coleman and Zucker both get 1sts + top prospects, you're going to get a lot more than that for Strome if you put him on the market....

Also Bob said yesterday that Fast will get "at least a 2nd", I think that's a lot more value than what's listed here.

I'm definitely not good with player valuations and would rather be on the conservative side. I do feel strongly that the Rangers would prefer young players and prospects to draft choices. They are looking for help in the next few years rather than drafting an 18 year old. A Kreider trade would almost. Certainly include a 1st but that could be flipped for an NHL ready player.

That's fine. I just don't know why you would then make a trade to a team with one of the worst prospect pools in the league...It just doesn't make sense logistically....the thing is with Strome's RFA status he doesn't necessarily need to go to a contender, he has team control. Teams like Buffalo or Florida or Anaheim, Ottawa, could all use some middle 6 C help.

You have other options is the point.

Uuugggh, ballsy move dumping RFA US$3.1Mil Strome to BOS for what amounts to a 1st (Fredric) and a 3rd (Lauko) when you guys did a 1-1 trade hosting some KHL guy named Spooner.
All, in order to PAY CK US$7-LARGE FOR SEVEN is border line insanity - good luck with that.

shut up, McGoober.
