Would assume that if this is the offering price for Kredier NYR would simply wait until the draft.

Counter Offer:

CAL receives: Adam McQuaid, Brendan Lemieux

NYR receives: 2020 2nd rd pick, Brett Pollock

Not even sure if I would even do this but this could be the framework.

no hate or animosity here, so please don't be sensitive like everyone else when they receive comments on their trade proposals....

I just don't know if rangers do this. I understand what they're getting in return but it doesn't make sense for them because Frolik is worthless and has same exact contract as kreider and then they would be stuck trading him at next year's deadline for less than what they can just use kreider for. I think they only trade kreider if they get someone who has possibility to be a future offensive star (like tolvanen).

As for lemeiux, I'm not against rangers trading him now for future picks but no way they include him in a kreider deal solely because they dont have to. Some western conference team is going to cave right at the deadline and try to keep pace with Jets and Sharks and get kreider (or they won't and rangers keep him until next year/long term). I'd say if rangers attach someone to a kreider deal its more likely to be a depth d-man or a young guy who they don't have a need for or can spare
