What a mistake that Kreider signing was

Not a personal attack at all, You are extremely sleeping on Vitali Kravtsov. He's a dynamic playmaking RW and we shouldn't move him for a 3LW. I like Greenway but no thanks.

Pass on the OTT deal. Won't move Georgiev in a cap dump and rather keep him.

I'll take the CGY deal.

Pass on the COL deal. Zadorov isn't going to be a long term fixture on the NYR LHD and trading a 2nd and 21-year-old top 10 pick who looks like he needs seasoning in the SHL is a bad move too. I think Lias will improve in Sweden and may improve his trade stock or level to maybe come back to NY and play with us again.

Term is bad but salary is good.

I know you guys won the lottery, but that doesn't mean everyone carrys extreme optimism. The trade isn't Krav for a 3rd liner, it's moving cap to have an impactful team. I don't think Krav becomes much more than a 2nd liner, so I am in fact low on him, but in that case dumping 6M in cap for only a line difference of one line. Greenway is a pretty good player to have on this team too.

Georgiev is also massively overrated. He's a fringe starter at best, whose stats reflect one hot streak. His value is high, but on this site it is TOO high. Moving 4M in cap costs about a 2nd, which is what I would assign the value of Georgiev.

Andersson is unhappy in NY, everyone knows it, they're not paying fair value. Zadorov seems like an almost perfect pairing for Trouba.

Which makes it a bad deal, they don't need him and hes gonna be there eating cap for awhile

Technically the NMC doesn't kick in until FA starts, so they could technically trade him at the draft to free the spot lol

They don't need him now that Lafreniere is coming. No one expected it at the time.

I gotcha. Personally disagree and would rather hold onto them but moot point since NYR won't move em anyway considering the asking prices.

Everyone said it was a bad deal at the time too an aging powerforward for 6 more years

Oh I know, I was pissed. Maybe they look to trade him who knows...

Just like Trouba, they can't just trade him. A decision was made and they have to see it through, it won't be a problem for a few years anyways but when Laffy needs a deal and Ziba is making at least 10M y'all are gonna hate Kreider

Zibanejad won't be making $10M+ at 29 imo. They'll move him.

I think he signs for 10x6 and how or why would they move him

Because he's entering 30 Y/O and they will pull another Brassard/Zibanejad swap

Brassard was never as good as Zib was this year and hes a top C, doubt theyd move a guy 1 season removed from leading the NHL in G/gp

I could see it but maybe not idk lol

Ottawa made the mistake of signing an inflated deal with the Hamburglar because of a hot streak, they won't make that mistake with Georgiev who they'd only need if Nilsson is retiring anyway.

Zadorov would be a solid fit with Rangers. You can QO him at $3.2m for 1 year and then decide what to do with him next year when he's an RFA again (as far as I understand). Whatever the case paying him $4.45m x 4 years would be too much. $3.75m would be in line with Butcher and seems more appropriate.

For Zadorov the ideal return would be a 2020 2nd and a 3rd (any year). This is a pretty intriguing trade though and I'd be inclined to accept, presuming that Andersson would be happy with playing a year in the AHL with the nearby Colorado Eagles.

COL declines easy.
Andersson is off little to no value to COL, we will take a pick instead
