Time for canes to call David Ayres
Kreider isn't the problem
Right now he’s not part of the solution. I love Kreider, his limitations are getting harder to hide when everyone around him is also falling apart
No but he’s on the decline and it’s good to get the most of a trade. It’s not a rebuild, but a real roster move
His and Mika’s lack of 5v5 production has been awful the past 2 years
He’s part of it. So he is
I think Zibanejad is a bigger problem
Werenski has been the back bone of the Jackets this season. After this summer and Boone going down I was wondering who would step up. Zach is killing it.
I miss trades so much. Best trades were between the Blues and Canucks in the 1990s. I miss the Professor
Good Ole Trader Ron Caron
Missed the Army-ism at the press conference: “If something delicious falls on my plate, I’m going to eat it “
I remember Craig Ludwig was known for shot blocking. But HNIC actually did a segment between periods in the 90s showing that he had special padding for his hips and legs and when he blocked a shot, he’d try to have to puck hit the padding.
When I was a D-man, I used a fair bit of supplemental protection, including using the chest part of a goalie's Chest/Arm with player shoulder and bicep protection. Of course when my foot was shattered by a shot, I re-evaluated what I was doing and became a goalie 🤣
really appreciated ludwig. he was one of 4 ex-montreal guys that were on the 1999 DAL stanley cup champion team.
Krieder legit won vs the Canes by himself last year...
As a canes fan, im all for the Rangers trading kreider.
I don't see Ottawa having success until Brady gets his penalty minutes down. He's very talented, but way too easy to completely neutralize by getting him heated and he can't help but put himself in the box.
Ya in this era analytics are too important... you know like that advanced stat "actually being on the ice"
Kreider is a Ranger 4 Lyfe
kreider is the last ranger that ties me to my youth and going to garden ... but he was underperformer until zib came around now that zib struggling what a shock kreider back to his underachievemnt self if there was decent return id take it for krieder
I don't see teams wanting Kreider and also giving something good for Rangers.
I think it would be better just use Kreider at Rangers, he still could make some important goals at Playoffs.
@@BandW1897 maybe a swap with Bruins.. they have some players that may just need a change of scenery..EDIT.. Ah Bruins do not have an exact match to swap at 6.5 and a left wing
I expect he gets traded.
@@BandW1897that’s what I was thinking too
A Kreider trade would be idiotic for ny. He’s playing decent, is a heart and soul player for that team, a seasoned vet, and is one of their biggest playoff producers. I’d understand if you wanna make moves a name like mikka makes more sense as he’s had a very lackluster season. I personally wouldn’t mess with that top 6 and feel they will figure it out defensively
Most of the Top-6 have NTC and NMC anyway, so hard to do anything, but being bottom-5 defensively 5 on 5 isn't a recipe for success. Igor and Quick can only do so much.
Dude he’s playing terrible what type of shit is yall talking about
Heart and soul, of what, a pidgeon? Furthermore how are they supposed to figure it out defensively when they dont even skate?
They have been a top 8 defensive team for the past 3 years not saying they’ve been great this year but you have to think eventually something gives this can’t be the new norm for the team
Moving Kreider would be a mistake
The main problem for the Rangers is just a lack of effort from the Vets. Its very obvious from how they are playing that they are either just aging out, or they don't care.
Seeing a Kreider trade would be somewhat sad, but at the same time I think we have people to slot into the top 6 to replace him and if him getting moved allows us to get more center depth I would prefer that as we don't have a 1C at all right now.
Ideally I'd like to see Zbad Lindgren Trouba and Miller moved, They all suck, though the likelihood of that happening is pretty low.
I was thinking about it last night and if Pittsburgh is going into a rebuild maybe, I know its very unlikely and has a 99.9% chance of not happening, but getting Crosby as a 1C in trade for some prospects and picks and or maybe some of the guys I mentioned before. Hes got at least another 1 or 2 seasons and honestly, with how the core is aging and the contracts we have I don't think we will be very competitive after Crosby's contract would be done.
For an example, Most of the Rangers vets right now are between 30 and 33 years old. If they don't have Ovechkin style longevity it looks grim with their contracts. Also from what we've seen so far, Trouba Kreider and Zbad CERTAINLY do not have that kind of longevity. Also Panarin is 33. Sure he's the best player on the team but that doesn't make him any younger.
To wrap back to the Crosby thing, If he wanted another shot at the cup, It would be better to be on the Rangers than the Penguins and also he seems a bit frustrated with their play right now so it might feed into it a little bit. Penguin for life maybe but we've seen crazier things happen than someone wanting another shot at a cup and, unless hell freezes over I don't see the Penguins giving that to him. Though I think its more likely that he just sits on the Penguins till his career is over.
From a Rangers perspective though, It would be a huge addition to have 1C like him. Not because he's Crosby it could be other people as well, but because its such a massive hole we need to have filled if we want to get to the next step if that's even possible with this core. Again, to me his age wouldnt be a concern though because the team is either basically below 25 or over 31.
Yo, where is Martin Jones? He was serviceable for Toronto last season.
When it comes to blocking shots, there is a multi-faceted risk/reward. A shot is blocked but is the player seriously injured? Is the player twinged to where he is immobile, out on the ice for a minute or so? So, blocking shots is kind of a 50/50 proposition. It reminds me a little of playing the outfield in baseball, running blindly towards the fence, looking back at a fly ball. Is there a point where you play safe and play it off the fence?
Everybody Drops now but they didn't as much in the past...I remember Jim Schoenfeld and Bruins fans really appreciated his shot blocking just that one season in Boston. And then there is the immortal playoff shift by Gregory Campbell.
The Rangers need a shakeup, they’ve become stale and Florida gave everybody the book on them. They don’t advance the puck well enough and are too slow, which starts with the regression of the blue-liners not being able to win puck battles and get it out of the zone effectively. I don’t think they’re as bad as they’ve looked in the past two weeks, but the big weakness they’ve had seems like it’s under a spotlight against good teams right now. They need find some more speed, both skating and decision making. Whether that comes from the current group or a transaction, I don’t know
Surprised to see the Rangers wanting to make moves to be honest and both of them pretty big faces. Meanwhile as a Canes fan we’re screwed in terms of goaltending
Well, in the next few weeks, you might get a chance to bring in Silovs, if Demko continues to get better.
@@christhornycroft3686 possible. The owner does not like rentals so we will see what he and the GM decide. Concussions can be 4 games or 20
Its unfortunate when you dig yourself a hole with terrible contracts like they did with Zibs and Trouba, you might have to trade a piece that you otherwise might've kept.
And now they might be looking at their current cap and thinking signing Igor might not be as easy as they once thought. They have some $$ coming off the books after this year, but in turn those players wont be there too.
@ @nexactly, they’ll have $22 mil but with Igor wanting a massive payday there’s only so much to go around plus you need a backup goalie since Quick goes UFA status
You cannot be more screwed than Florida.
Laviolette used to have a 4 year shelf life. I say Laviolettes shelf life is 2 years now. Team isn't listening to him speak. They've tuned him out.
Biggest trade I remember being a little kid was Jim Schoenfeld, Danny Gare, Tony Mckenegny for Mike Foligno, Dale McCourt and Brent Peterson. Now that was a trade !
Rangers need to start winning some games against hard teams, it’s deflating!!
Not with the lineup they have now!
I would be upset to see Kreider not play his whole career with the rangers. You can lower his ice time if necessary, or take him off PP1 for Laf to get some time, but I hope he doesn’t leave. He’s an all time ranger and a great guy in the locker room.
Also, Kreider should be the captain of this team, not Trouba.
You want a captain that disapears for weeks at a time?
I'd rather have a captain like Trocheck or Panarin.
You mean Chris The Carey Price Killer Kreider? That guy?
The Rangers are panicking way too quickly.
Completely agree about Zach Werenski. Most underrated player today.
Surprised to hear about the Rangers looking to make moves. Sure, the end of that road trip sucked but every team goes through struggles at some point in the season. They're still in good position for a playoff run. The worst thing management can do is panic in November when there's no need to.
I'm a Leafs fan, but wish Ottawa would be better. I look at the roster, and think they have the players...don't know what the problem(s) are..
maybe defense cover on top of puck to prevent shot from being taken?
Cheers to an active trade deadline👍
There were quite a few goof shot blockers back in the day. Way more flamingos nowadays.
I can tell you, as a Devils fan I would love to see them move Kreider. It would be tough to convince me he’s not near the top of the list their most valuable players each year, and I don’t think I would worry about them at all in the playoffs without him.
No mention of Moose's hatty?
Zibanejad is the issue. Been an issue for two season now.
Kreidrr DTD with an injury. Hopefully nothing serious. No need to trade him or anyone else on that team. Just Zib.
Zibs is basically as untradeable as Trouba is with his contract. Kreider's best days are probably behind him but if the Rangers wait another year to move him, they wouldn't be able to get anything in return. Trading him now you might possibly get a younger centerman with some upside.
@@NothingToPointOut24Trouba is down to 15 team NTC. He just put up a stink on the off season bc his wife has a residency in NY. If only he used that as fuel to show everyone he still could play. Big fail on his part
When Z is healthy, it's s ary how good he is. I'm worried he's playing way too many minutes for Columbus, as they figure out their bottom defense pairing, but he's the real deal. Picking up Fabbro has done wonders for him
I would love to see Calgary acquire Kreider, one of my fave players. Flames have a ton of free cap-space, I think they could get it done.
Rangers won't trade him for just futures, they need something now and Calgary can't give it. Their best forwards are either bad defensively or old or Sharangovich, who is a part of Calgary's future while their best dmen are pretty much untouchable since it's them making things work there. Without Weegar and Andersson that's a lottery team
Rangers need to start playing hockey the right way and Mika needs to get going. Krieder and Trouba are fine IMHO. Others will probably disagree.
That is a nice hat. Really need to get a new Habs hat.
Thanks for the video! Rangers might be overreacting. Well deserved on the stars of the week. A shame for Kane.
Imagine kreider on a line with Tkachuk and barkov
Kreider and Mika are special teams merchants period. They're not an even strength threat anymore and the NHL knows it. They're predictable veteran players who are on decline. Trouba and Lindgren need to go as well. Not even proving my point on Trouba bc he shows it every night. Lindy is past his prime, health and belongs in the AHL. This teams core has no heart and grit leaving their goalies out to dry every single night. We have a really exciting group of young players in Hartford that are drooling at the opportunity to play in the NHL. LET THEM PLAY
New York Rangers might help more play in defense zone without puck?
Hurricanea should flames a 2nd and 3rd rounds picks for Valdar
It would be absolutely shocking to see either Kreider or Trouba leave the Rangers at this point.
They already unsuccessfully tried to off load Trouba in the off season;
they would be unlikely to get anything more valuable for the team than Kreider is already.
Right now, the big issues for the Rangers is players not playing a 200 foot game which undermines their defense.
Welcome to Buffalo Mr Kreider.
I personally as a ranger fan would not move CK or Troubs. top on my list would be Mika but he's untouchable due to his contract next would be Kapo he's improving but feel he's easiest to move former first rounder and not a big cap hit also reason to keep CK he's chasing records(team) he's also one of the fastest skaters in the league. I'm not management I'm still mad the moved Zucc. I also feel they need to play heavier turn the 4th line into the legion of doom line move Veasy up to the third Rempe/Carrick/Edstrom let the lose make the other team fear touching the puck that is a reason to keep Touba
The zero assist is alarming. How can a first line NHLer not have an assist after a quarter of a season?
I don't want to see Kreids traded, however, if he gets traded, it's far more likely that Mika will agree to be traded, which he really needs to be, as does Trouba.
Any of the other 31 teams would be fortunate to get Krieder
Not sure if I missed a video. Did you see that Jordan Eberle had pelvic surgery and will be out at least three months? I don't remember seeing it on a whiteboard for a news video.
First star of the week should be the entire Pittsburgh Penguins roster 😂
Defense has been an issue for the Rangers for awhile, including last post-season. It drives me crazy. This should have been addressed in the off-season.
Rangers have been playing counter hockey last few seasons even with different coaches. Then you dont have puck control, need to defend too much on your own end and you need always your powerplay or goalie to rescue. That might be the biggest reason why defense looks so bad sometimes. Maybe with one better puck moving defenseman and center who can play with puck, Rangers could find better balance for their game and their defense looked also much better.
Tkachuk - Bennett - Tkachuk
That would be such an UFC line :D
Forsburg-Raymond-Nylander
The Rangers problems aren't Krieder...
1. They handed out NMC like candy to players that were either un-proven (Trouba) or already kinda old (Mika - 8 Years of NMC until he is 38!? LOL).
2. They sent out that embarrassing "letter" about going into a rebuild but completely jumped ship once Panarin forced his way onto the team.
3. Their front office can't draft to save their lives... Laf is the only player worth anything that has been drafted since Igor was in 2014. Most other teams have players currently playing that were LATE draft picks (Bratt - NJD | Lee - NYI | Saros - NAS) but the only late round draft picks that played any NHL game for the Rangers was Fast who they traded away. They have so little homegrown talent...
5. They rely on goaltending to bail them out and it hides the problems on the team... and no one in management has noticed.
Zdorov lands in New York in multiplayer trade...
I’m not mad about it I seen this in 1994 when they moved gartner and got matteau Anderson noonson and mactavish you saw where that went Shannon I’m sure you know a thing or two since your a Canucks fan the Russian rocket was a beast tho that Vancouver team was so stacked it was not a easy win for the rangers even went 7 games memorable championship even tho its been 30 years 😂😂😂😂
Go Jackets!
nobodys talking about ryker evans either
If Rangers want futures, Sabres could use Kreider.
Krieder is a bargain at 6.5 million. Reilly Smith is no help. Replace Smith with Culye on that top line and let’s see what happens.
Bring wooden sticks back, slow the puck down a touch
Werenski 💪🏻 He was a god in fantasy for me last week 🤤
Kreider gets a hat-trick tonight. Bet on it.
I'll take that bet since he isn't playing tonight
Lost 5 to 2 against blues at home isn't for everyone
The Rangers are kind of a paper tiger so far. They’ve had an easy schedule in terms of opponents and workload (no back-to-backs yet), and they’ve done poorly against the handful of playoff teams they’ve faced.
Chabot for Trouba?????
The quickest way to get an NHL player traded is, for me to buy their jersey 😅
Trouba needs to go BAD. Trade him for that future considerations guy.
Don't touch kreider. Take trouba and Mika and lindgren
Mika's not going anywhere due to a full NMC. Trouba is rough due to his high salary hit and low production. Lindgren I agree with.
Well if Brady Tkachuk blocks a shot with his face it might be an improvement? He reminds me of Sloth in Goonies!
GOONIES NEVER SAY DIE
Note I'm a fan of all 3 Tkachuks
Zibanejad needs to be either traded or scratched. Not sure what’s going on with him but his head is elsewhere and his lack of effort is effecting Kreider’s game. He reminds me of Petr Nedved years ago.
Marchessault not working out in Nashville..is his price too high to move East …
As a bruins fan i just know the blues are winning the cup either this year or next…
For the Rangers I would move Ryan Lindgren & K'Andre Miller. We tried to move Trouba in the off season, but it looks like we're stuck with him. Lindgren is about as effective as a traffic cone. Miller has moments of brilliance, but he's not consistent. I would love it if they could somehow swing a trade for David Savard, Marcus Pettersson, or Rasmus Andersson. I can dream, right?
Miller is going nowhere. He is the ironman of the team. Has never missed a game due to injury, illness, and covid. He is a bargain @ 4
Andersson isn't going anywhere, Calgary is somehow 2nd in Pacific 💀
@@SFLET-up9ll Yeah a bargain to anyone we play against, dude sucks worse than Trouba. Use your eyes.
Hey @THG
The rangers need a new GM
If they were to trade 20 and 8, who would even captain that?
Fox is the biggest one to come to mind. Don't know if he would want it or is the guy for it though.
#16
I can buy the argument that the Rangers are in need of some shaking up, but I will be heartbroken if Kreider is part of that. I don't really have anything else to say about it beyond that because I refuse to believe it. There's no way he's the problem.
Connor McMichael
If the Rangers can once again be on the winning side of a lopsided trade involving Mika Zibanejad, then yes please. With six years left on that boat anchor of a contract and his play declining every season, it'll be hard to pull off, but never say never.
Update: Another night with a -3. At this point, a bag of pucks is worth more than Zibanejad. I'd love a job where I can dog it for 20 minutes a night, 3 nights a week, and get paid over 8 million a year.
If they trade kreider I will never go to a ranger game again.
He is literally the modern Mr.Ranger.
As the only team i hate in that region out of four, I certainly want kreider to be out
huge NYR fan. I think the move makes sense. Their 5v5 especially the kreider zib combo has been terrible. 7.25 cap hit for 3 more years...
get out of this before it is too late. I think you could get a Team like Boston to over-pay for Kreider. Include a third team for salary retention. Maybe Drury can call up his old buddy in SJ and see if they will take 25-33% of kreiders remaining salary for a 3rd round pick and maybe a prospect. Kreider goes to Boston.
Unfortunately, San Jose is at the limit by retaining salary on three contracts this season. Third party will have to be somebody else.
SJ fan here.. Even if we had all three slots open, that's a hard pass.
@@JesterRace139 was a hypothetical. i could have just as easily said ana. I am sure Buffalo would like to add Kreider.
kreider does have a 15 tm ntc. without knowing who is on that list everything is speculation.
The rangers need to get Crosby out of Pittsburgh 🍻
Trade Lindgren, not Kreider.
@TheHockeyGuy Shannon, I have not seen your latest power rankings video yet, but if you dropped the Rangers down a significant amount, it is well deserved. The above-average goaltending can only mask the team's fundamental problems for just so long. And when either Igor or Quick do not provide their best, the Rangers get lit up. And we saw that even more so with their loss to the Oilers. Had the goaltending been average, we would be talking about a lottery bound team here. This is how glaring their issues really are. Not a single player on that roster should be untouchable. Not one. And.I mean this. If Chris Kreider needs to go, trade him. If Mika Zibanejad still has any value, Chris Drury needs to consider that. Kaapo Kakko should have already been sent packing. Jacob Trouba needs to go because he is not helping this team. Reilly Smith should be packaged in any deal. If Vincent Trocheck fetches interest and a first rounder at the very least is offered, he should be moved. If Igor does not sign an extension soon, Drury needs to consider trading him as well.
People can say Rangers fans like me are nuts to consider even blowing up this roster right before Thanksgiving and a 12-7 record, but the writing has been on the wall for some time. They are not winning anything anytime soon and if yet another rebuild is inevitable, might as well start early and not wait for the trade deadline when the team's options vanish.
And furthermore, if the Rangers lose tonight to the struggling Blues, what additional proof do you need?
Trade Zibanejad to the Anaheim
Kreider to the Hawks for Connor Murphy and Taylor Hall, Hawks retain money to help it work. Someone who goes to the net for Bedard, or the Hawks flip him at the deadline for more picks
Trouba and Lindgen need to go
Krieder isn’t the problem, he’s probably 3rd 4th best player this year. Problem is defense , Mika, 1RW. Start with working on the defense. Trade Trouba, Miller and Lindgren
Nobody is going to trade for those bums. Every team knows how bad they are.
why trade miller lol
@@Nuclear_Onion Because he sucks
Trade Trouba
Krieder is not the problem. Cant believe he's even mentioned. That's bullcrap. Get rid of trouba, Miller, and Lindgren, and Igor. I actually think kakko plays well. Nyr need to get tougher they are so freaking soft
And Igor ?? 🤡
NSH traded Thomasino to NYR for 2027 4th
Pittsburgh not NY
@@redrangers12330 I misread it, it was the NYR pick from PIT
Get rid of kakko definitely
Kakko has been one of better players for Rangers this season. So it might hurt Rangers at least on short term. Sure he might have better value now based on his performance and he is never likelty going to produce top6 points at Rangers. So maybe there is trade to be made.
@ I don’t know I think he was sopose to be better then rangers tought
NMC and NTC have ruined the fun of the season. You are what you are for 6 months basically. Boring.
Rangers need to move Lindgren. 4.5 million is not justifiable. Team tanked since he came from injury
Tkachuk brother did the same bs in Calgary
Lindgren and Trouba are the problem
Correct
Trouba+pick for Huberdeau Thanks.
I could see the ducks trading for Kreider...
The rangers should trade everyone.. the whole d core needs to be redone.. Mika’s contract is un trade able and his play is un trade able. They should have traded Kreider the year he scored 50 now we’ll be lucky to get a bag of pucks for him. The only guys that should stay is the panarin line and Cooley.. there good against bad or ok teams the play a good team they get embarrassed. Time for big changes
Trading everyone isn’t very realistic, and you can’t even spell the names of the players on your team correctly. It’s Cuylle
Git rid of the playoff no show-ers Zibanejad Panarin Miller Trouba. Problems solved
Rangers should have grabbed Montgomery
No way they would fire the coach after winning the presidents last year
They might change the name Rangers to Yeti. 🦧
