One of the bigger questions about this offseason isn’t about the blue line, or about free agency, or about the draft. It’s about Chris Kreider. The 28 year old winger is on the last year of his deal and carries a $4.625 million cap hit. He’s due a raise next season, given that he’s a consistent 20-goal scorer who has gotten to 28 goals in two of the past three seasons. He’s consistently around 45 points, although he has crossed over 50 points in two of the last three years (2017-2018 was a rough one for Kreider).
To trade Chris Kreider or not to trade Chris Kreider: That is the question
