#Isles sign Casey Cizikas to a five-year deal worth $16.75 million.

anybody still think we'd keep Kreider around 3 mil a year?

Gonna be more than that for sure.

The qualifying offer would have to be near 3, no?

Yea. Would be nice to see him sign long term for 4.25 or so. He does not deserve more than Brassard, Zucc, Stepan, or McDonagh.

I think this negotiation could go into training camp if Kreider doesn't elect for arbitration.

if Kreider got offer sheeted 5,632,847 mil a year, the maximum to only give up a 1st and 3rd rounder, we match or take the two picks?

that would be a hell of a position to put the Rangers in for sure

That's a tough situation. I don't really know what I'd do

I love playoff Kreider, but honestly if people want Nash gone and what not, someone has to step up during the regular season to get to the playoffs, I don't see Kreider doing that.

Picks, no way the Rangers should pay Kreider over five million per.

Can't do it, I like Kreider but that is insane. Have to think Nash stays if they feel Kreider's camp is going to swing for the fences, contractually.

The draft picks. Buchnevich signed and Gropp in waiting make that an easy call for me.

Kovacs looking like a strong prospect too.

I see Kovacs as what Hagelin was to the Rangers. 15 goal, 35 point guy. I think buch and Gropp have higher ceilings. But the Rangers have a some depth on the Left side of the forward group.

This isn't to suggest they have a top ten prospect pipeline but the league-wide opinion that their futures are the worst in the league seems a bit off to me.

Agree reluctantly. I really feel CK is due to break out, I called it last yr & was dead wrong. Would hate to see it happen elsewhere.

Kreider is expendable for 5+ million dollars per.

I know its hard, but TRY & take you're heart out of it. Does he deserve 5 mil +?

I am a Kreider guy, not the love affair Matt has w him but I would hate to see him go, but we have to be cap responsible here.

Most guys don't deserve what they get. Unfortunately the market dictates their worth
